599285 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 599285 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 59 and we're left with 59.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 599 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 599 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 576 away from 599, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 232 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtracting 216 from 232 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 832.0
If we take 144 away from 168, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 245 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8323.0
If we subtract 216 from 245, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
290 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8323.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 288 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8323.4
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8323.402
If we take 144 away from 200, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8323.4027
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8323.40277
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8323.40277, with a leftover of 5.6e-05.
