Let's divide 616863 by 72
Our goal is to divide 616863 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 61 0 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 616 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 616 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 616, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 408 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 360 away from 408, we end up with 48.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 486 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
486 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 856.0
Subtracting 432 from 486 leaves us with 54.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 543 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 543 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8567.0
Subtracting 504 from 543 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8567.5
If we subtract 360 from 390, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8567.54
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8567.541
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 72 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8567.5416
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8567.54166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8567.54166 with a balance of 4.8e-05.
