We're dividing 616379 by 72 
We want to divide 616379 by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 72

Step 2:
61 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 61.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 616 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 616 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 576 from 616 and we're left with 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 403 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 43.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we subtract 360 from 403, we get 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 437 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 856.0
If we take 432 away from 437, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8560.0
If we subtract 0 from 59, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
590 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8560.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 576 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8560.81
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:
If we divide 680 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8560.819
Subtract 648 from 680 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.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8560.8194
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8560.81944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8560.81944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
