Let's divide 867957 by 72
We want to divide 867957 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 86 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 86 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
147 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 144 from 147 to get 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 0 from 39.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 395 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
395 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1205.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 360 from 395.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 357 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 357 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12054.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 288 from 357.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12054.9
Deduct 648 from 690 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12054.95
Deduct 360 from 420 and we're left with 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:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12054.958
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12054.9583
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.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12054.95833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left 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 result is 12054.95833 with a remainder of 2.4e-05.
