We look at the division of 554921 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 554921 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
55 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 554 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 554 7 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 554, we end up with 50.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 509 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 509 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtracting 504 from 509 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 72

Step 5:
52 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 770.0
If we take 0 away from 52, we end up with 52.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 521 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 521 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7707.0
Deduct 504 from 521 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7707.2
Subtracting 144 from 170 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7707.23
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 440 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7707.236
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7707.2361
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7707.23611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7707.23611 with a balance of 8e-06.
