617422 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 617422 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
61 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 61.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 61 and we're left with 61.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 617 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 617 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 576 from 617.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 414 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 414 5 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 360 from 414 to get 54.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 542 / 72

Step 5:
542 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 857.0
If we subtract 504 from 542, we get 38.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 382 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8575.0
Subtract 360 from 382 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8575.3
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8575.3
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8575.305
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8575.3055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8575.3055 and a remainder of 0.0004.
