We look at the division of 872703 by 162 
Our goal is to divide 872703 by 162.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 162 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 162

Moving on to step 2:
87 divided by 162 is 0 with a remainder of 87.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 87 and we're left with 87.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 872 / 162

Step 3:
The number 162 fits into 872 5 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 810 away from 872, we end up with 62.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 627 / 162

Moving on to step 4:
162 goes into 627 3 times with a remainder of 141.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 486 away from 627, we end up with 141.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 141 and continue: 1410 / 162

Let's proceed to step 5:
1410 divided by 162 is 8 with a remainder of 114.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 538.0
Deduct 1296 from 1410 and we're left with 114.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 114 and repeat the process: 1143 / 162

Advancing to step 6:
162 can be fit into 1143 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5387.0
If we subtract 1134 from 1143, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 162, we get 0 with a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5387.0
Subtracting 0 from 90 leaves us with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
162 can be fit into 900 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5387.05
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 810 from 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 900 by 162, we get 5 with a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5387.055
Deduct 810 from 900 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5387.055 with a balance of 0.009.
