Let's divide 762298 by 72
We want to divide 762298 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 76 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 76 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 422 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
422 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 62.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105.0
If we take 360 away from 422, we end up with 62.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 629 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 629 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 53.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1058.0
If we subtract 576 from 629, we get 53.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 538 / 72

On to step 6:
538 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10587.0
Subtracting 504 from 538 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
340 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10587.4
If we take 288 away from 340, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10587.47
If we take 504 away from 520, 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.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10587.472
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.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10587.4722
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.

After the division, we end up with 10587.4722 and a remainder of 0.00016.
