601223 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 601223 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 601 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 601 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 601, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 72

Step 4:
252 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Deduct 216 from 252 and we're left with 36.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 362 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 362 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 835.0
Deduct 360 from 362 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 23 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8350.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
230 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8350.3
Deduct 216 from 230 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8350.31
If we subtract 72 from 140, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8350.319
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8350.3194
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8350.31944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8350.31944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
