Let's divide 507039 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 507039.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 507 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 507 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 507, we get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 303 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 303 4 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 704.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 288 from 303.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 159 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7042.0
Subtracting 144 from 159 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7042.2
If we take 144 away from 150, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7042.2
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7042.208
If we subtract 576 from 600, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7042.2083
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7042.20833
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7042.20833 and a remainder of 2.4e-05.
