We look at the division of 742591 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 742591 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 74 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 72

Step 3:
22 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
225 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 103.0
Subtract 216 from 225 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1031.0
If we take 72 away from 99, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
271 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10313.0
Deduct 216 from 271 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 550 7 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10313.7
Subtract 504 from 550 to 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.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10313.76
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us 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 9:
When dividing 280 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 64.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10313.763
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10313.7638
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.

Moving on to step 11:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10313.76388
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10313.76388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
