We divide 170767 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 170767 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 170 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 170 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 267 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 267 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 216 from 267, we get 51.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 516 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 516 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 237.0
Deduct 504 from 516 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 127 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2371.0
Subtracting 72 from 127 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2371.7
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 504 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2371.76
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2371.763
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2371.7638
Subtract 576 from 640 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2371.76388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left 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 result is 2371.76388 with a remainder of 6.4e-05.
