We divide 617720 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 617720.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 61 and we're left with 61.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 617 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 617 8 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 617 to get 41.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
417 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 360 from 417.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 572 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
572 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 68.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 857.0
If we subtract 504 from 572, we get 68.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 680 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8579.0
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8579.4
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8579.44
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8579.44, with a leftover of 0.032.
