We look at the division of 51311 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 51311 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 513 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 513 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 504 from 513.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 91 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtract 72 from 91 to get 19.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 191 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 191 2 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 712.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 144 from 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 712.6
Subtracting 432 from 470 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 712.65
Deduct 360 from 380 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 712.652
Subtracting 144 from 200 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 712.6527
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 712.65277
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 712.65277 with a balance of 5.6e-05.
