Let's divide 52485 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 52485.

Moving on 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
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 52 0 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 52 and we're left with 52.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 524 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 524 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 524, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 208 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 144 from 208 and we're left with 64.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 645 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 645 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 728.0
Subtract 576 from 645 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 690 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 728.9
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 648 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 728.95
If we subtract 360 from 420, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 600 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 728.958
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
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 9:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 728.9583
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 728.95833
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 728.95833, with a leftover of 2.4e-05.
