We divide 505018 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 505018 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead 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
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 505 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 505 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 504 from 505.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 101 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 101 1 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 701.0
If we subtract 72 from 101, we get 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 298 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7014.0
If we take 288 away from 298, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7014.1
Deduct 72 from 100 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7014.13
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7014.138
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7014.1388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7014.1388 with a balance of 0.00064.
