699877 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 699877 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 69 0 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 69, we end up with 69.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 699 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
699 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 51.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 648 from 699 leaves us with 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 518 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we subtract 504 from 518, we get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 147 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 972.0
Deduct 144 from 147 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
37 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9720.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
370 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9720.5
If we take 360 away from 370, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9720.51
If we subtract 72 from 100, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9720.513
Deduct 216 from 280 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9720.5138
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9720.51388
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9720.51388 with a remaining 6.4e-05.
