538705 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 538705 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 53 and we're left with 53.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 538 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 538 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 504 from 538 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 347 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 288 away from 347, we end up with 59.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 590 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 748.0
Deduct 576 from 590 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 145 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7482.0
Subtract 144 from 145 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7482.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7482.01
Subtracting 72 from 100 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7482.013
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7482.0138
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7482.01388
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 7482.01388 with a remainder of 6.4e-05.
