508953 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 508953 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
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: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 508 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 508 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 504 from 508 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 495 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 495 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 706.0
Deduct 432 from 495 and we're left with 63.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 633 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 633 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7068.0
If we subtract 576 from 633, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 570 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 66.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7068.7
If we subtract 504 from 570, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 660 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7068.79
Subtracting 648 from 660 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7068.791
Deduct 72 from 120 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7068.7916
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7068.79166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7068.79166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
