508412 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 508412 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 508 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 508 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 508 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
44 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 44 to get 44.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 441 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 441 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 706.0
Subtracting 432 from 441 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 92 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7061.0
If we take 72 away from 92, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7061.2
Subtracting 144 from 200 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7061.27
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7061.277
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7061.277 with a remaining 0.0056.
