Let's divide 579796 by 72
We want to divide 579796 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 72

On to step 2:
57 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 57, we get 57.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 579 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 579 8 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 576 from 579 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 379 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 805.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 360 from 379.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 196 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8052.0
Subtracting 144 from 196 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8052.7
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8052.72
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8052.722
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8052.722, with a leftover of 0.0016.
