We look at the division of 573988 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 573988.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 57 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 57.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 573 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 573 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 69.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 504 from 573 and we're left with 69.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 699 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 699 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 79.0
If we subtract 648 from 699, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 518 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 797.0
Subtract 504 from 518 to get 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 148 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7972.0
Deduct 144 from 148 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7972.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7972.05
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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 9:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7972.055
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7972.055, with a leftover of 0.004.
