787969 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 787969 by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 67 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 67.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 67 and we're left with 67.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 679 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 679 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtracting 648 from 679 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
316 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1094.0
Subtracting 288 from 316 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 289 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10944.0
If we subtract 288 from 289, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10944.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10944.01
If we take 72 away from 100, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to 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: 10944.013
Deduct 216 from 280 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.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10944.0138
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10944.01388
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up 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.

Our division results in 10944.01388 with a remaining 6.4e-05.
