We divide 655259 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 655259.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 65 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 65, we end up with 65.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 655 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
655 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 648 from 655, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 91.0
Subtract 72 from 72 to get 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 910.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 59 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9100.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9100.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 576 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9100.81
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9100.819
If we take 648 away from 680, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9100.8194
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9100.81944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 9100.81944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
