Let's divide 427047 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 427047.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 427 5 times with a remainder of 67.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 360 away from 427, we end up with 67.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 670 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 670 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 648 from 670, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 224 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 593.0
Subtracting 216 from 224 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5931.0
Subtract 72 from 87 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
150 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5931.2
Subtract 144 from 150 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5931.2
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5931.208
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5931.2083
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5931.20833
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5931.20833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
