Let's divide 611548 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 611548.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 61 0 times, leaving 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.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 611 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 611 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 611 to get 35.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 355 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 355 4 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we take 288 away from 355, we end up with 67.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 674 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 674 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 849.0
Deduct 648 from 674 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 268 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 52.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8493.0
Subtracting 216 from 268 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8493.7
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
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:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8493.72
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.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8493.722
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8493.722 with a remaining 0.0016.
