We divide 520712 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 520712 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 52 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 520 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 167 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 144 away from 167, we end up with 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 231 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 723.0
Deduct 216 from 231 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 152 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7232.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 144 from 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7232.1
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7232.11
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7232.11 and a remainder of 0.008.
