Let's divide 40620545 by 72
We want to divide 40620545 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 406 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 360 from 406, we get 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 462 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 432 from 462 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 300 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 564.0
Deduct 288 from 300 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 125 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5641.0
Subtract 72 from 125 to get 53.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 534 / 72

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 534 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56417.0
Subtract 504 from 534 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 305 / 72

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 305 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 564174.0
Subtract 288 from 305 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 170 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 564174.2
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 144 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 564174.23
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 564174.236
If we take 432 away from 440, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 564174.2361
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 564174.23611
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 564174.23611 with a remainder of 8e-06.
