We divide 461207 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 461207 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 461 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 461 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 461 to get 29.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 292 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 292 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we subtract 288 from 292, we get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 640.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 407 5 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6405.0
If we subtract 360 from 407, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6405.6
If we subtract 432 from 470, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6405.65
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 360 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6405.652
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6405.6527
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6405.65277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6405.65277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
