We're dividing 512023 by 72 
We want to divide 512023 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 512 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 512 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 512, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 80 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 82 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 711.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 72 from 82.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 103 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 103 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7111.0
Subtracting 72 from 103 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7111.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 288 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7111.43
Subtract 216 from 220 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7111.43
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7111.4305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7111.43055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7111.43055 with a remaining 4e-05.
