We divide 531807 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 531807.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 53 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 53 and we're left with 53.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 531 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
531 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 504 from 531.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 278 3 times with a remainder of 62.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 216 from 278.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 620 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
620 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 738.0
Deduct 576 from 620 and we're left with 44.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 447 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 447 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7386.0
Subtract 432 from 447 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7386.2
Subtract 144 from 150 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7386.2
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 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 9:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7386.208
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.

Moving on to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7386.2083
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 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 11:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7386.20833
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7386.20833, with a leftover of 2.4e-05.
