654970 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 654970 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
65 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 65 leaves us with 65.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 654 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 654 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 648 from 654 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 69 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 90.0
Deduct 0 from 69 and we're left with 69.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 697 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 697 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 909.0
If we subtract 648 from 697, we get 49.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 490 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9096.0
If we take 432 away from 490, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 580 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9096.8
Deduct 576 from 580 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9096.8
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9096.805
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9096.8055
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9096.8055 with a balance of 0.0004.
