Let's divide 579518 by 72
Our goal is to divide 579518 by 72.

Advancing 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
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 57 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 57 and we're left with 57.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 579 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 579 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 35 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 35.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 351 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 351 4 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 804.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 288 from 351.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 638 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 638 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 62.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8048.0
If we subtract 576 from 638, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 7:
620 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8048.8
Deduct 576 from 620 and we're left with 44.
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 8:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8048.86
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 9:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8048.861
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.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8048.8611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 8048.8611 and a remainder of 8e-05.
