We look at the division of 720872 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 720872.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 72, we get 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 0 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 87 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1001.0
Subtracting 72 from 87 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 152 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10012.0
Subtract 144 from 152 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10012.1
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 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 8:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10012.11
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 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 10012.11 with a remainder of 0.008.
