Let's divide 587886 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 587886.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 587 / 72

Step 3:
587 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 587 to get 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 118 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we subtract 72 from 118, we get 46.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 468 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 816.0
If we take 432 away from 468, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 366 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 366 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8165.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 360 from 366.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8165.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8165.08
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8165.083
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8165.0833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8165.0833 with a balance of 0.00024.
