We divide 642474 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 642474.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 64 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 64 leaves us with 64.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 642 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 642 8 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 576 from 642 leaves us with 66.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 664 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
664 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 648 from 664 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 167 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 892.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 144 from 167.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 72

Step 6:
234 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8923.0
Deduct 216 from 234 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
180 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8923.2
Subtract 144 from 180 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8923.25
Subtract 360 from 360 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8923.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8923.25
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8923.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
