52991085 ÷ 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 52991085.

Step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 52 0 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 529 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
529 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 529, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we take 216 away from 259, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 431 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 431 5 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 735.0
Subtract 360 from 431 to get 71.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 710 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 710 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7359.0
Subtracting 648 from 710 leaves us with 62.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 628 / 72

On to step 7:
If we divide 628 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73598.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 576 from 628.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 525 / 72

Step 8:
72 goes into 525 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 735987.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 504 from 525.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 735987.2
Subtracting 144 from 210 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 660 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 735987.29
If we take 648 away from 660, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 735987.291
Deduct 72 from 120 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 735987.2916
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 13:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 735987.29166
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.

After the division, we end up with 735987.29166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
