We're dividing 538663 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 538663 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 53, we get 53.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 538 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 538 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 504 from 538 to get 34.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 346 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 346 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtracting 288 from 346 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 586 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 586 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 748.0
If we take 576 away from 586, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 103 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 103 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7481.0
Subtracting 72 from 103 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7481.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 288 from 310.
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:
The number 72 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7481.43
If we subtract 216 from 220, 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 9:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7481.43
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.

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: 7481.4305
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7481.43055
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.

Our division results in 7481.43055 with a remaining 4e-05.
