We divide 970968 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 970968 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 97 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 250 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 216 from 250, we get 34.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 349 / 72

On to step 4:
349 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 61.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 288 from 349.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 616 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
616 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1348.0
Deduct 576 from 616 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 408 5 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13485.0
Deduct 360 from 408 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13485.6
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13485.66
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 13485.66 with a remainder of 0.048.
