We divide 781787 by 72
We want to divide 781787 by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 72 from 78.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
61 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 61, we get 61.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 617 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 617 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtracting 576 from 617 leaves us with 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 418 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 58.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1085.0
Subtract 360 from 418 to get 58.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 587 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 587 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10858.0
Deduct 576 from 587 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10858.1
If we subtract 72 from 110, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10858.15
Deduct 360 from 380 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10858.152
Subtract 144 from 200 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10858.1527
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10858.15277
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10858.15277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
