We're dividing 507718 by 72 
We want to divide 507718 by 72.

Step 1:
5 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 507 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 507 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 504 from 507.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 371 / 72

Step 5:
371 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 705.0
Subtracting 360 from 371 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 118 1 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7051.0
If we subtract 72 from 118, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 460 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7051.6
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7051.63
Subtracting 216 from 280 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7051.638
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7051.6388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7051.6388 and a remainder of 0.00064.
