52016 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 52016.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 52 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 520 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 161 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 161 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 144 from 161 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 176 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 722.0
If we subtract 144 from 176, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 722.4
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 722.44
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 722.44 with a remaining 0.032.
