We're dividing 544286 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 544286 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 54.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 544 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 544 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 544 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 402 5 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 360 from 402 to get 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 428 5 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 755.0
If we subtract 360 from 428, we get 68.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 686 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 686 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7559.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 648 from 686.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7559.5
If we subtract 360 from 380, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7559.52
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7559.527
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7559.5277
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 7559.5277 with a remainder of 0.00056.
