70991 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 70991.

Step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 709 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 709 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 648 from 709, we get 61.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 619 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 619 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 576 from 619, we get 43.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 431 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 431 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 985.0
Subtracting 360 from 431 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 6:
710 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 985.9
If we take 648 away from 710, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 985.98
If we subtract 576 from 620, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 985.986
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.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 985.9861
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.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 985.98611
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 final outcome is 985.98611, with a leftover of 8e-06.
