We're dividing 602916 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 602916.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
60 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 602 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 602 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 576 from 602 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 269 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 216 away from 269, we end up with 53.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 531 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 531 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 837.0
Deduct 504 from 531 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 276 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 276 3 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8373.0
Subtracting 216 from 276 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8373.8
Deduct 576 from 600 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8373.83
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8373.833
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8373.833 with a balance of 0.0024.
