We're dividing 717178 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 717178 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 71 to get 71.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 717 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 717 9 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 648 away from 717, we end up with 69.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 691 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 691 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtracting 648 from 691 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 437 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 996.0
Subtract 432 from 437 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 58 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9960.0
Subtract 0 from 58 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9960.8
If we take 576 away from 580, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9960.8
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9960.805
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9960.8055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9960.8055 and a remainder of 0.0004.
