616338 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 616338.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 61 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 616 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 616 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 616, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 403 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 43.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 360 away from 403, we end up with 43.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 433 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 433 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 856.0
If we subtract 432 from 433, we get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8560.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8560.2
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 144 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8560.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8560.25
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8560.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8560.25 with a remaining 0.0.
