Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7271.4
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7271.41
Subtracting 72 from 120 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7271.416
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7271.4166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.
