Let's divide 55578 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 55578 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 555 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 555 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 555 leaves us with 51.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 517 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 517 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtract 504 from 517 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 138 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 771.0
If we subtract 72 from 138, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 660 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 771.9
Subtracting 648 from 660 leaves us with 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:
72 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 771.91
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:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 771.916
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up 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 9:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 771.9166
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 771.9166, with a leftover of 0.00048.
