We look at the division of 72527789 by 872 
We're looking to find how many times 872 goes into 72527789.

On to step 1:
872 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 872

Moving on to step 2:
872 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 725 / 872

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 725 by 872, we get 0 with a remainder of 725.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 725 and we're left with 725.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 725 and continue: 7252 / 872

On to step 4:
The number 872 fits into 7252 8 times, leaving a remainder of 276.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 6976 from 7252, we get 276.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 276 and continue: 2767 / 872

Going ahead to step 5:
872 can be fit into 2767 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 151.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtract 2616 from 2767 to get 151.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 151, then carry on: 1517 / 872

Going ahead to step 6:
872 can be fit into 1517 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 645.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 831.0
Subtract 872 from 1517 to get 645.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 645 and continue: 6458 / 872

Let's proceed to step 7:
872 can be fit into 6458 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 354.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8317.0
Subtract 6104 from 6458 to get 354.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 354 and continue: 3549 / 872

Going ahead to step 8:
872 can be fit into 3549 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83174.0
If we take 3488 away from 3549, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 9:
872 goes into 610 0 times with a remainder of 610.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83174.0
Subtract 0 from 610 to get 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
872 goes into 6100 6 times with a remainder of 868.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83174.06
The remainder is 868 after subtracting 5232 from 6100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
872 can be fit into 8680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 832.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83174.069
The remainder is 832 after subtracting 7848 from 8680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 872 fits into 8320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 472.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 83174.0699
Subtracting 7848 from 8320 leaves us with 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

The final result is 83174.0699 with a remainder of 0.00472.
