Let's divide 618517 by 72
We want to divide 618517 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 61 0 times with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 618 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 618 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 576 from 618 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 425 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 425 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 360 from 425 leaves us with 65.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 651 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 651 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 859.0
If we subtract 648 from 651, we get 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8590.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 370 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8590.5
Deduct 360 from 370 and we're left with 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:
The number 72 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8590.51
If we take 72 away from 100, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8590.513
Deduct 216 from 280 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8590.5138
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.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8590.51388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left 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.

The final result is 8590.51388 with a remainder of 6.4e-05.
