We divide 724501 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 724501.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 72, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 450 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1006.0
Subtract 432 from 450 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 181 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 37.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10062.0
If we take 144 away from 181, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 370 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10062.5
Deduct 360 from 370 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10062.51
Subtract 72 from 100 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10062.513
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10062.5138
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10062.51388
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10062.51388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
