We divide 518953 by 72
We want to divide 518953 by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 518 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 518 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 504 from 518 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 149 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 144 away from 149, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 55 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 720.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 553 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 553 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7207.0
Subtracting 504 from 553 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 490 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7207.6
If we take 432 away from 490, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7207.68
If we subtract 576 from 580, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7207.68
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7207.6805
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7207.68055
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7207.68055, and the remainder is 4e-05.
