We divide 878127 by 72
Our goal is to divide 878127 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 87 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 158 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 144 away from 158, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 141 1 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 121.0
Deduct 72 from 141 and we're left with 69.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 692 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 692 9 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1219.0
Subtract 648 from 692 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 447 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 447 6 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12196.0
If we take 432 away from 447, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12196.2
If we subtract 144 from 150, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12196.2
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12196.208
If we take 576 away from 600, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12196.2083
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.

On to step 11:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12196.20833
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.

Our division results in 12196.20833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
