Let's divide 558118 by 72
Our goal is to divide 558118 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 55 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 558 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
558 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 558, we get 54.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 541 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 541 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we subtract 504 from 541, we get 37.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 371 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 371 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 775.0
If we take 360 away from 371, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 118 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7751.0
If we take 72 away from 118, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 460 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7751.6
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7751.63
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7751.638
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7751.6388
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7751.6388 with a remaining 0.00064.
