We divide 572041 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 572041.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 57 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 57.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 57 and we're left with 57.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 572 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 572 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 572 leaves us with 68.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 680 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 324 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 324 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 794.0
If we subtract 288 from 324, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 361 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7945.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 360 from 361.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7945.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7945.01
Subtract 72 from 100 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7945.013
Subtract 216 from 280 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7945.0138
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7945.01388
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7945.01388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
