359963 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 359963 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 35 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 359 4 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 288 away from 359, we end up with 71.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 719 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
719 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 71.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 648 from 719.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 716 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 716 9 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 499.0
Deduct 648 from 716 and we're left with 68.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 683 / 72

Step 6:
683 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4999.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 648 from 683.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4999.4
If we take 288 away from 350, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
620 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4999.48
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4999.486
If we take 432 away from 440, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4999.4861
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4999.48611
Subtract 72 from 80 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.

The final outcome is 4999.48611, with a leftover of 8e-06.
