Let's divide 612607 by 72
Our goal is to divide 612607 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
61 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 612 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 612 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 576 from 612, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 366 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 366 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we subtract 360 from 366, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 850.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 607 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 607 8 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8508.0
If we subtract 576 from 607, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
310 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8508.4
Subtract 288 from 310 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8508.43
If we subtract 216 from 220, we get 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:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8508.43
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8508.4305
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.

Step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8508.43055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 8508.43055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
