546901 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 546901.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 546 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 546 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 504 from 546 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
429 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 360 from 429.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 690 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
690 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 759.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 648 from 690.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 421 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7595.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 360 from 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7595.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 576 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7595.84
If we subtract 288 from 340, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7595.847
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7595.8472
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7595.84722
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 7595.84722 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
