612089 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 612089.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 612 / 72

On to step 3:
72 can be fit into 612 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 576 from 612 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 360 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we subtract 360 from 360, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 850.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 89 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8501.0
Subtract 72 from 89 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 170 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8501.2
Subtract 144 from 170 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
260 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8501.23
If we take 216 away from 260, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8501.236
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8501.2361
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8501.23611
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 8501.23611 with a remainder of 8e-06.
