556526 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 556526 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 556 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 556 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 52.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 556, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 525 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
525 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 504 from 525.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 212 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 212 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 772.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 144 from 212.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 686 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
686 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7729.0
Subtracting 648 from 686 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7729.5
If we subtract 360 from 380, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7729.52
Subtracting 144 from 200 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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7729.527
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7729.5277
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.

The quotient of the division is 7729.5277, and the remainder is 0.00056.
