We look at the division of 804487 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 804487 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 80 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 72 from 84 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 124 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtracting 72 from 124 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 528 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 528 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1117.0
Subtract 504 from 528 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 247 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11173.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 216 from 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11173.4
Subtracting 288 from 310 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11173.43
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11173.43
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11173.4305
Deduct 360 from 400 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.

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: 11173.43055
If we take 360 away from 400, 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.

The quotient of the division is 11173.43055, and the remainder is 4e-05.
