We look at the division of 502771 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 502771 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 502 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 502 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 432 from 502.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 707 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 707 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 59.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtract 648 from 707 to get 59.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 597 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 597 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 698.0
If we take 576 away from 597, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 211 2 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6982.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 144 from 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 670 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6982.9
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 648 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
220 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6982.93
Subtract 216 from 220 to 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 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6982.93
Subtracting 0 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6982.9305
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.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6982.93055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 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 6982.93055, with a leftover of 4e-05.
