We're dividing 487215 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 487215 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 487, we end up with 55.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 552 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 552 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 504 away from 552, we end up with 48.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 481 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 481 6 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 676.0
Deduct 432 from 481 and we're left with 49.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 495 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 495 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6766.0
Subtract 432 from 495 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 630 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6766.8
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 576 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6766.87
If we subtract 504 from 540, we 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 9:
360 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6766.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6766.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6766.875
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

The final outcome is 6766.875, with a leftover of 0.0.
