We're dividing 842769 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 842769 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 84, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 122 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 72 from 122 to get 50.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 507 / 72

On to step 4:
507 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 504 away from 507, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 36 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1170.0
Subtract 0 from 36 to get 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 369 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11705.0
If we take 360 away from 369, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11705.1
Deduct 72 from 90 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 180 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11705.12
Deduct 144 from 180 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11705.125
If we subtract 360 from 360, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11705.125
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11705.125
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 11705.125 with a remainder of 0.0.
