55711 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 55711.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 557 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 557 7 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 557 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 531 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 531 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 504 from 531.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 72

Step 5:
271 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 773.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 216 from 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
550 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 773.7
If we subtract 504 from 550, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 460 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 773.76
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 773.763
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 773.7638
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 773.76388
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 773.76388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
