655517 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 655517 by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 65 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 65.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 65 and we're left with 65.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 655 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 655 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 648 from 655.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 75 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we take 72 away from 75, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 31 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 910.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 317 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 317 4 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9104.0
If we take 288 away from 317, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9104.4
If we subtract 288 from 290, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9104.4
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9104.402
Subtract 144 from 200 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9104.4027
Subtract 504 from 560 to 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.

On to step 11:
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: 9104.40277
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 final outcome is 9104.40277, with a leftover of 5.6e-05.
