We look at the division of 46012 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 46012 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
46 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 460 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 460 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 432 from 460, we get 28.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 281 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 281 3 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 216 from 281.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 652 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 652 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 639.0
Deduct 648 from 652 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 639.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 639.05
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 639.055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 639.055 and a remainder of 0.004.
