We're dividing 539609 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 539609 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 72

Step 2:
53 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 539 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 539 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 539, we get 35.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 356 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 356 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 288 from 356.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 680 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 749.0
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 329 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 329 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7494.0
Subtracting 288 from 329 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 410 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7494.5
Deduct 360 from 410 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7494.56
Deduct 432 from 500 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7494.569
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7494.5694
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7494.56944
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7494.56944 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
