We're dividing 983967 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 983967.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 98 leaves us with 26.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 263 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 263 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 216 from 263, we get 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 479 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 136.0
Subtract 432 from 479 to get 47.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 476 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 476 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1366.0
If we subtract 432 from 476, we get 44.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 447 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 447 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13666.0
If we subtract 432 from 447, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 150 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13666.2
Subtracting 144 from 150 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13666.2
Subtract 0 from 60 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13666.208
Deduct 576 from 600 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.

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: 13666.2083
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 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:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13666.20833
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13666.20833 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
