712401 ÷ 5 
Let's see how many times 5 fits into 712401.

On to step 1:
5 can be fit into 7 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 5 from 7 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 5

Moving on to step 2:
5 goes into 21 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 20 from 21 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
5 goes into 12 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 10 from 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 5

Step 4:
24 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1424.0
If we take 20 away from 24, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 5

Moving on to step 5:
40 divided by 5 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14248.0
Subtract 40 from 40 to get 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 5

Advancing to step 6:
1 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142480.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
5 goes into 10 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142480.2
If we take 10 away from 10, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142480.2
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.

Moving on to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142480.2
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 142480.2 with a balance of 0.0.
