481207 ÷ 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 481207.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 481 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 49.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 481, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 492 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 492 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we take 432 away from 492, we end up with 60.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 600 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 668.0
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 247 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6683.0
If we take 216 away from 247, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 310 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6683.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 288 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6683.43
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6683.43
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6683.4305
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6683.43055
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.

Our division results in 6683.43055 with a remaining 4e-05.
