We divide 522588 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 522588.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 72

Step 2:
52 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 522 / 72

On to step 3:
522 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 504 from 522 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 185 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 185 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 144 from 185 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 418 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 418 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 58.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 725.0
If we subtract 360 from 418, we get 58.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 588 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 588 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7258.0
Subtract 576 from 588 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7258.1
Subtracting 72 from 120 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7258.16
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7258.166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7258.166, and the remainder is 0.0048.
