We're dividing 506087 by 72 
We want to divide 506087 by 72.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving 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.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 506 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 506 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 506, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 208 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 702.0
Subtract 144 from 208 to get 64.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 647 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 647 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 71.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7028.0
If we subtract 576 from 647, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 710 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7028.9
Subtracting 648 from 710 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 620 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7028.98
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7028.986
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7028.9861
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7028.98611
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.

After the division, we end up with 7028.98611 and a remainder of 8e-06.
