We divide 716221 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 716221.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 71, we end up with 71.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 716 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 716 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 648 from 716 leaves us with 68.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 682 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 682 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 648 from 682.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 342 4 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 994.0
Deduct 288 from 342 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 541 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 541 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9947.0
If we take 504 away from 541, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 370 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9947.5
Subtract 360 from 370 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9947.51
Subtracting 72 from 100 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9947.513
If we subtract 216 from 280, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9947.5138
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9947.51388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9947.51388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
