We look at the division of 357457 by 72 
We want to divide 357457 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 357 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 69.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 357 to get 69.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 694 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 694 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 46.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 648 from 694 and we're left with 46.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 465 / 72

Step 5:
465 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 496.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 432 from 465.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 337 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
337 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 49.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4964.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 288 from 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
490 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4964.6
Subtract 432 from 490 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
580 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4964.68
Deduct 576 from 580 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.

Step 9:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4964.68
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4964.6805
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4964.68055
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.

The quotient of the division is 4964.68055, and the remainder is 4e-05.
