Let's divide 587615 by 72
We want to divide 587615 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
58 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 587 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 587 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 587, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 116 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 72 from 116.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 441 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 441 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 816.0
Subtract 432 from 441 to get 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 95 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8161.0
Subtract 72 from 95 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8161.3
If we subtract 216 from 230, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 140 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 68.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8161.31
Subtract 72 from 140 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8161.319
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:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8161.3194
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.

On to step 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8161.31944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8161.31944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
