Let's divide 685396 by 72
We want to divide 685396 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 68 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 68 to get 68.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 685 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 685 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 648 from 685 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 373 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 373 5 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 95.0
Deduct 360 from 373 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 139 1 times with a remainder of 67.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 951.0
Deduct 72 from 139 and we're left with 67.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 676 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 676 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9519.0
Deduct 648 from 676 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9519.3
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9519.38
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9519.388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9519.388 with a balance of 0.0064.
