We're dividing 756421 by 72 
We want to divide 756421 by 72.

Step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 75 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 75 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 75, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 36 0 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 364 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 364 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105.0
Subtract 360 from 364 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1050.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 421 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 421 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10505.0
Subtracting 360 from 421 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 610 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10505.8
Subtract 576 from 610 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10505.84
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 288 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10505.847
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10505.8472
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10505.84722
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10505.84722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
