642611 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 642611 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 72

Step 2:
64 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 64, we get 64.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 642 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
642 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 642, we end up with 66.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 666 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 666 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 648 from 666.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 181 2 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 892.0
Deduct 144 from 181 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 371 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 371 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8925.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 360 from 371.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 110 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8925.1
Subtract 72 from 110 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 380 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8925.15
If we take 360 away from 380, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8925.152
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8925.1527
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8925.15277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left 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 quotient of the division is 8925.15277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
