We divide 781697 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 781697.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 61 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 616 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 616 8 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 576 away from 616, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 409 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1085.0
Subtracting 360 from 409 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 497 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 497 6 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10856.0
If we subtract 432 from 497, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 650 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10856.9
If we subtract 648 from 650, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
20 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10856.9
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10856.902
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10856.9027
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10856.90277
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10856.90277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
