Let's divide 726457 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 726457.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 72 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 64 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtract 0 from 64 to get 64.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 645 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
645 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1008.0
Deduct 576 from 645 and we're left with 69.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 697 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 697 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10089.0
Deduct 648 from 697 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10089.6
Subtracting 432 from 490 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10089.68
If we subtract 576 from 580, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10089.68
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10089.6805
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up 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.

Step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10089.68055
Subtract 360 from 400 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 10089.68055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
