We look at the division of 601559 by 72 
We want to divide 601559 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 6 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 60 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 601 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 601 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 576 from 601 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 255 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we subtract 216 from 255, we get 39.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 395 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 395 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 835.0
Subtracting 360 from 395 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 359 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8354.0
Deduct 288 from 359 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 710 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8354.9
Deduct 648 from 710 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8354.98
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8354.986
If we subtract 432 from 440, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8354.9861
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8354.98611
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8354.98611, with a leftover of 8e-06.
