333481 divided by 72 
We want to divide 333481 by 72.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 33 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 33 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 333 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 333 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 288 from 333 to get 45.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 454 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
454 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 432 from 454, we get 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
228 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 463.0
Subtract 216 from 228 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 121 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 49.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4631.0
If we take 72 away from 121, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4631.6
If we subtract 432 from 490, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 580 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4631.68
Deduct 576 from 580 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4631.68
If we take 0 away from 40, 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.

Step 10:
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: 4631.6805
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4631.68055
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.

After the division, we end up with 4631.68055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
