972407 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 972407 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 97 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 252 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 252, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 364 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 364 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135.0
If we take 360 away from 364, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1350.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 407 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13505.0
Deduct 360 from 407 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13505.6
Subtracting 432 from 470 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 380 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13505.65
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 360 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13505.652
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13505.6527
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13505.65277
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13505.65277 with a remaining 5.6e-05.
