612277 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 612277 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 612 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 612 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 576 from 612, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 362 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
362 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 360 away from 362, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 72

Step 5:
27 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 850.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 277 3 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.0
If we subtract 216 from 277, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8503.8
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 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8503.84
If we subtract 288 from 340, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8503.847
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8503.8472
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.

Step 11:
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: 8503.84722
If we take 144 away from 160, 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.

The final result is 8503.84722 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
