Let's divide 74608 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 74608 can be divided by 72.

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.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 72

On to step 3:
72 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 260 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 103.0
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 448 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 448 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1036.0
Subtracting 432 from 448 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1036.2
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1036.22
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1036.22, with a leftover of 0.016.
