We look at the division of 539138 by 72 
We want to divide 539138 by 72.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
53 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 53.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 539 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 539 7 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 539, we get 35.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 351 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 351 4 times with a remainder of 63.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
Deduct 288 from 351 and we're left with 63.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 633 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 633 8 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 748.0
Subtract 576 from 633 to get 57.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 578 / 72

Step 6:
72 goes into 578 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7488.0
Subtracting 576 from 578 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7488.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7488.02
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7488.027
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7488.0277
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 7488.0277 with a remainder of 0.00056.
