We're dividing 587992 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 587992 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
58 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 587 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 587 8 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 576 from 587 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 119 1 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtracting 72 from 119 leaves us with 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
479 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 47.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 816.0
If we subtract 432 from 479, we get 47.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 472 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 472 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8166.0
Subtracting 432 from 472 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8166.5
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8166.55
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8166.55, with a leftover of 0.04.
