Let's divide 621259 by 72
Our goal is to divide 621259 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 62 0 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 62 and we're left with 62.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 621 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 621 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 45.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 621 to get 45.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 452 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 452 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 432 away from 452, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 205 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 61.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 862.0
Subtract 144 from 205 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 619 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 619 8 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8628.0
Subtracting 576 from 619 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
430 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8628.5
If we take 360 away from 430, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8628.59
Subtract 648 from 700 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8628.597
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8628.5972
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8628.59722
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8628.59722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
