We divide 611697 by 72
Our goal is to divide 611697 by 72.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 611 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 611 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 611 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 356 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 356 4 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we subtract 288 from 356, we get 68.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 689 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
689 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 849.0
If we subtract 648 from 689, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 417 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 57.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8495.0
Deduct 360 from 417 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8495.7
Subtract 504 from 570 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8495.79
Subtracting 648 from 660 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8495.791
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8495.7916
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8495.79166
Subtract 432 from 480 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 8495.79166, and the remainder is 4.8e-05.
