We divide 731708 by 72
Our goal is to divide 731708 by 72.

Advancing to 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
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 73 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 73, we get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 72

On to step 4:
117 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 101.0
If we subtract 72 from 117, we get 45.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 450 / 72

Step 5:
450 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1016.0
If we subtract 432 from 450, we get 18.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 188 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 188 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10162.0
If we take 144 away from 188, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10162.6
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10162.61
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10162.611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10162.611, and the remainder is 0.0008.
