Let's divide 623208 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 623208 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 62 0 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 62 and we're left with 62.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 623 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 623 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 47.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 576 from 623, we get 47.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 472 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 472 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtract 432 from 472 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 865.0
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 408 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8655.0
Subtracting 360 from 408 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8655.6
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8655.66
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8655.66 with a remaining 0.048.
