55729 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 55729 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 557 / 72

Step 3:
557 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 504 from 557 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 532 / 72

Step 4:
532 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtracting 504 from 532 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 289 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 774.0
Subtract 288 from 289 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
72 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 774.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 774.01
Subtract 72 from 100 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 280 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 774.013
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.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 774.0138
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 774.01388
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 774.01388, with a leftover of 6.4e-05.
