Let's divide 608459 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 608459.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 60 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 608 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 608 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 576 from 608 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 324 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 324 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we take 288 away from 324, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 365 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 365 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 845.0
Subtracting 360 from 365 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 59 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8450.0
Subtracting 0 from 59 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 590 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8450.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 576 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8450.81
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8450.819
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8450.8194
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8450.81944
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 8450.81944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
