Let's divide 659263 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 659263 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 65 0 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 65 and we're left with 65.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 659 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 659 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 648 from 659 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 112 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 112 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we take 72 away from 112, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 406 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 406 5 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 915.0
Subtracting 360 from 406 leaves us with 46.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 463 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 463 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9156.0
If we subtract 432 from 463, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
310 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9156.4
If we subtract 288 from 310, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9156.43
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9156.43
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.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9156.4305
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.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9156.43055
Subtract 360 from 400 to 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.

The final outcome is 9156.43055, with a leftover of 4e-05.
