717254 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 717254 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 71 0 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 717 / 72

On to step 3:
717 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 69.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 648 from 717, we get 69.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 692 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 692 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 648 from 692.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 445 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 445 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 996.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 432 from 445.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 134 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9961.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 72 from 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9961.8
If we subtract 576 from 620, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9961.86
If we take 432 away from 440, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9961.861
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9961.8611
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up 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 9961.8611 and a remainder of 8e-05.
