518465 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 518465 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 518 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
518 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 504 from 518.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 144 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we subtract 144 from 144, we get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 720.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 65 0 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7200.0
Subtracting 0 from 65 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
650 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7200.9
If we subtract 648 from 650, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7200.9
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7200.902
If we subtract 144 from 200, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7200.9027
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7200.90277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7200.90277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
