We look at the division of 611723 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 611723 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
61 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 61.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 611 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 611 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 35.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 576 from 611 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 357 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 69.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtract 288 from 357 to get 69.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 692 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 692 9 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 849.0
Subtract 648 from 692 to get 44.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 443 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 443 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8496.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 432 from 443.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8496.1
Subtract 72 from 110 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
380 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8496.15
If we take 360 away from 380, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8496.152
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8496.1527
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8496.15277
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8496.15277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
