We divide 996372 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 996372.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 99 to get 27.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 276 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 276 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 216 from 276 and we're left with 60.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 603 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 603 8 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we take 576 away from 603, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
277 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 61.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1383.0
If we take 216 away from 277, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 612 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 612 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13838.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 576 from 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13838.5
Deduct 360 from 360 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13838.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13838.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13838.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
