We're dividing 551519 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 551519 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 551 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 551 7 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 551, we end up with 47.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 475 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 43.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtract 432 from 475 to get 43.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 431 / 72

Going ahead 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: 765.0
If we subtract 360 from 431, we get 71.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 719 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 719 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 71.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7659.0
Subtract 648 from 719 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7659.9
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 648 from 710.
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 8:
72 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7659.98
If we take 576 away from 620, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7659.986
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 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:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7659.9861
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7659.98611
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 7659.98611 and a remainder of 8e-06.
