We divide 508315 by 72
We want to divide 508315 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 508 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 508 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 504 from 508 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 72

Step 4:
43 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 43.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we take 0 away from 43, we end up with 43.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 431 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 431 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 71.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 705.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 360 from 431.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 715 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 715 9 times with a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7059.0
Deduct 648 from 715 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 670 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7059.9
If we subtract 648 from 670, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
220 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7059.93
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7059.93
Subtract 0 from 40 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.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7059.9305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7059.93055
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.

After the division, we end up with 7059.93055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
