We're dividing 418939 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 418939.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
41 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 418 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 360 from 418, we get 58.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 589 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 589 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 576 from 589 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 133 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 581.0
If we subtract 72 from 133, we get 61.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 619 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 619 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5818.0
Subtract 576 from 619 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5818.5
If we subtract 360 from 430, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
700 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5818.59
If we take 648 away from 700, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5818.597
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5818.5972
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5818.59722
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5818.59722 and a remainder of 1.6e-05.
