We divide 601396 by 72
Our goal is to divide 601396 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 60 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 601 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 601 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 576 from 601, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 253 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtracting 216 from 253 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 379 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 379 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 835.0
Subtracting 360 from 379 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 196 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8352.0
Deduct 144 from 196 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8352.7
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8352.72
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8352.722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8352.722 with a balance of 0.0016.
