We're dividing 515885 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 515885 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 515 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 515 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 504 from 515 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
118 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 72 from 118.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 468 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 468 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 716.0
If we subtract 432 from 468, we get 36.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 365 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 365 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7165.0
Subtract 360 from 365 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7165.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7165.06
Subtract 432 from 500 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7165.069
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7165.0694
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7165.06944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7165.06944 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
