Let's divide 973146 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 973146.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 97 to get 25.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 253 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 253 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 253, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 371 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 371 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 360 from 371.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 114 1 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1351.0
Subtract 72 from 114 to get 42.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 426 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 426 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 66.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13515.0
If we subtract 360 from 426, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13515.9
Deduct 648 from 660 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13515.91
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 72 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13515.916
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13515.9166
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 outcome is 13515.9166, with a leftover of 0.00048.
