Let's divide 773871 by 72
Our goal is to divide 773871 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
77 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 77 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
53 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 53.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 538 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 538 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 107.0
If we take 504 away from 538, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 347 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1074.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 288 from 347.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 591 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 591 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10748.0
If we subtract 576 from 591, we get 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:
When dividing 150 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10748.2
Subtract 144 from 150 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10748.2
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10748.208
Subtracting 576 from 600 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.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10748.2083
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.

Moving on to step 11:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10748.20833
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.

The final outcome is 10748.20833, with a leftover of 2.4e-05.
