656995 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 656995 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 65 0 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 65, we end up with 65.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 656 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 656 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 648 away from 656, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 89 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 91.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 72 from 89.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 179 2 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 912.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 144 from 179.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 355 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 355 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 67.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9124.0
Subtract 288 from 355 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 670 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9124.9
If we subtract 648 from 670, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9124.93
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9124.93
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.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9124.9305
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9124.93055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9124.93055 with a balance of 4e-05.
