509244 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 509244.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 509 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 509 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 509, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
52 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 52 leaves us with 52.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 524 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
524 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 707.0
Subtracting 504 from 524 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 204 2 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7072.0
Deduct 144 from 204 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7072.8
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7072.83
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7072.833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7072.833, and the remainder is 0.0024.
