We're dividing 558715 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 558715.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 558 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 558 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 558 leaves us with 54.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 547 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 547 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we subtract 504 from 547, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 431 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 775.0
Deduct 360 from 431 and we're left with 71.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 715 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 715 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7759.0
If we subtract 648 from 715, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 670 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7759.9
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 648 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7759.93
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7759.93
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7759.9305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7759.93055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7759.93055 with a remaining 4e-05.
