We divide 406844 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 406844.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 406 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 360 from 406, we get 46.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 468 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 468 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 432 away from 468, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 364 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 364 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 565.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 360 from 364.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 44 0 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5650.0
Subtract 0 from 44 to get 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 7:
72 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5650.6
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 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 8:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5650.61
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5650.611
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5650.611 and a remainder of 0.0008.
