Let's divide 746497 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 746497.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 74, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 264 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 264 3 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 103.0
Subtracting 216 from 264 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 489 6 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1036.0
If we subtract 432 from 489, we get 57.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 577 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 577 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10368.0
Subtracting 576 from 577 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10368.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10368.01
Deduct 72 from 100 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10368.013
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10368.0138
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10368.01388
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10368.01388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
