506599 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 506599 by 72.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 506 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 506 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 504 from 506 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 259 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 703.0
If we subtract 216 from 259, we get 43.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 439 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7036.0
Subtract 432 from 439 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
70 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7036.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 700 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 52.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7036.09
Subtracting 648 from 700 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 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7036.097
If we subtract 504 from 520, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7036.0972
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7036.09722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

The final result is 7036.09722 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
