Let's divide 6255285 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 6255285.

On 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
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 62 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 62 leaves us with 62.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 625 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 625 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 49.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 625 to get 49.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 495 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
495 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 86.0
Deduct 432 from 495 and we're left with 63.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 632 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
632 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 868.0
Subtracting 576 from 632 leaves us with 56.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 568 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 568 7 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8687.0
If we subtract 504 from 568, we get 64.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 645 / 72

Step 7:
72 goes into 645 8 times with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86878.0
Subtract 576 from 645 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86878.9
If we take 648 away from 690, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 420 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86878.95
Subtract 360 from 420 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86878.958
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86878.9583
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 86878.95833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 86878.95833 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
