901677 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 901677 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 90, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 181 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 144 from 181 to get 37.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 376 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 376 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 16.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we take 360 away from 376, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 167 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1252.0
Subtracting 144 from 167 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 72

Step 6:
237 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12523.0
If we take 216 away from 237, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12523.2
If we take 144 away from 210, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12523.29
Subtracting 648 from 660 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12523.291
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12523.2916
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.

On to step 11:
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: 12523.29166
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.

After the division, we end up with 12523.29166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
