We're dividing 651287 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 651287.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 65 0 times with a remainder of 65.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 65 leaves us with 65.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 651 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 651 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 648 from 651 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 32 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 32 0 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
If we take 0 away from 32, we end up with 32.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 328 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 904.0
Subtract 288 from 328 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 407 5 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9045.0
Subtracting 360 from 407 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9045.6
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 432 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9045.65
Subtract 360 from 380 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9045.652
Subtract 144 from 200 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9045.6527
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9045.65277
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9045.65277 with a balance of 5.6e-05.
