Let's divide 756517 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 756517.

Step 1:
72 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 75, we get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 36 0 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 365 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 365 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105.0
Subtracting 360 from 365 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 51 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1050.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 517 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 517 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10507.0
Subtract 504 from 517 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10507.1
Subtract 72 from 130 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10507.18
Subtract 576 from 580 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10507.18
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10507.1805
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10507.18055
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10507.18055 with a remaining 4e-05.
