502404 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 502404 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 72, we get 0 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 502 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 502 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 502, we end up with 70.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 704 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
704 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 56.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we subtract 648 from 704, we get 56.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 560 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 697.0
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 564 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 564 7 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6977.0
Deduct 504 from 564 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6977.8
Subtract 576 from 600 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6977.83
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6977.833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6977.833, with a leftover of 0.0024.
