We're dividing 594817 by 72 
We want to divide 594817 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 59 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 0 from 59.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 594 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 594 8 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 594, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 188 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 144 from 188 to get 44.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 441 / 72

On to step 5:
441 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 826.0
Subtracting 432 from 441 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 97 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8261.0
Subtract 72 from 97 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
250 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8261.3
Subtract 216 from 250 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8261.34
If we subtract 288 from 340, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8261.347
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8261.3472
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8261.34722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8261.34722 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
