We're dividing 72724 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 72724.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 72 from 72.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 72 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 101.0
If we take 72 away from 72, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1010.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 40 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1010.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1010.05
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1010.055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1010.055, with a leftover of 0.004.
