We divide 618735 by 72
We want to divide 618735 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
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 61 0 times with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 618 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 618 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 618, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 72

On to step 4:
427 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 360 away from 427, we end up with 67.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 673 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 673 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 859.0
Subtracting 648 from 673 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
255 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8593.0
If we take 216 away from 255, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8593.5
Subtract 360 from 390 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8593.54
If we take 288 away from 300, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8593.541
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8593.5416
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.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8593.54166
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8593.54166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
