We're dividing 612111 by 72 
We want to divide 612111 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 61 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 61, we get 61.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 612 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 612 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 576 from 612.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
361 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 360 from 361 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 850.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 111 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8501.0
Subtract 72 from 111 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8501.5
Subtract 360 from 390 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8501.54
Deduct 288 from 300 and we're left with 12.
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:
72 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8501.541
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 72 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on 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: 8501.5416
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8501.54166
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 8501.54166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
