We're dividing 522755 by 72 
We want to divide 522755 by 72.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 522 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 522 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 522, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 72

On to step 4:
187 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 144 from 187 leaves us with 43.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 435 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 435 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 726.0
Subtracting 432 from 435 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7260.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 350 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7260.4
Subtract 288 from 350 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7260.48
Subtract 576 from 620 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7260.486
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.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7260.4861
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.

On 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: 7260.48611
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 7260.48611 with a remainder of 8e-06.
