Let's divide 531057 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 531057.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 531 / 72

Step 3:
531 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 531 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 270 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtract 216 from 270 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 545 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 545 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 737.0
Subtracting 504 from 545 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
417 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 57.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7375.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 360 from 417.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7375.7
If we subtract 504 from 570, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7375.79
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 648 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7375.791
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7375.7916
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7375.79166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7375.79166, and the remainder is 4.8e-05.
