We divide 505756 by 72
We want to divide 505756 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 505 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 505 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 505, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 175 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
175 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 702.0
If we take 144 away from 175, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 72

On to step 6:
316 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7024.0
If we take 288 away from 316, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 280 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7024.3
Deduct 216 from 280 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.

Step 8:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7024.38
If we subtract 576 from 640, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7024.388
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 7024.388 with a remaining 0.0064.
