We look at the division of 973711 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 973711 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
97 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 97, we get 25.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 253 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 253 3 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 216 from 253 to get 37.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 377 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 135.0
If we take 360 away from 377, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 171 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1352.0
Subtracting 144 from 171 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 271 / 72

Step 6:
271 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13523.0
If we subtract 216 from 271, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
550 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13523.7
If we subtract 504 from 550, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13523.76
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13523.763
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13523.7638
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13523.76388
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 13523.76388 with a remainder of 6.4e-05.
