We divide 601123 by 72
We want to divide 601123 by 72.

Going ahead 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 (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 601 / 72

Step 3:
601 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 576 from 601, we get 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 251 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83.0
Deduct 216 from 251 and we're left with 35.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 352 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 352 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 834.0
Subtracting 288 from 352 leaves us with 64.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 643 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 643 8 times with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8348.0
Subtract 576 from 643 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:
When dividing 670 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8348.9
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 648 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8348.93
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.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8348.93
Subtracting 0 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 10:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8348.9305
If we subtract 360 from 400, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8348.93055
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.

The quotient of the division is 8348.93055, and the remainder is 4e-05.
