Let's divide 931728 by 72
We want to divide 931728 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 93 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 93 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 211 / 72

On to step 3:
211 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 144 from 211, we get 67.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 677 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 677 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
If we take 648 away from 677, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 292 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 292 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1294.0
Subtracting 288 from 292 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
48 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12940.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12940.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12940.66
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up 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.

Our division results in 12940.66 with a remaining 0.048.
