696948 divided by 72 
We want to divide 696948 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 69 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 69 leaves us with 69.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 696 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
696 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 648 from 696.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 489 6 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we subtract 432 from 489, we get 57.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 574 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 574 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 70.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 967.0
If we take 504 away from 574, we end up with 70.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 708 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 708 9 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9679.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 648 from 708.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9679.8
Deduct 576 from 600 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9679.83
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9679.833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9679.833, with a leftover of 0.0024.
