We look at the division of 71252739 by 872 
We want to divide 71252739 by 872.

Step 1:
872 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 872

On to step 2:
71 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 71 leaves us with 71.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 712 / 872

On to step 3:
When dividing 712 by 872, we get 0 with a remainder of 712.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 712, we get 712.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 712, then repeat: 7125 / 872

Step 4:
872 can be fit into 7125 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 149.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 149 after subtracting 6976 from 7125.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 149 and repeat the process: 1492 / 872

Step 5:
872 goes into 1492 1 times with a remainder of 620.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
The remainder is 620 after subtracting 872 from 1492.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 620, then repeat: 6207 / 872

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 6207 by 872, we get 7 and a remainder of 103.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 817.0
Deduct 6104 from 6207 and we're left with 103.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 103 and continue with: 1033 / 872

On to step 7:
872 can be fit into 1033 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 161.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8171.0
Subtracting 872 from 1033 leaves us with 161.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 161 and continue with: 1619 / 872

Going ahead to step 8:
872 goes into 1619 1 times with a remainder of 747.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81711.0
Deduct 872 from 1619 and we're left with 747.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 7470 by 872, we get 8 with a remainder of 494.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81711.8
If we subtract 6976 from 7470, we get 494.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 4940 by 872, we get 5 with a remainder of 580.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 81711.85
The remainder is 580 after subtracting 4360 from 4940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
872 goes into 5800 6 times with a remainder of 568.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 81711.856
Subtracting 5232 from 5800 leaves us with 568.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
872 goes into 5680 6 times with a remainder of 448.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81711.8566
Deduct 5232 from 5680 and we're left with 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 81711.8566 with a remaining 0.00448.
