We divide 810996 by 72
We want to divide 810996 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 72

On to step 2:
81 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 72 from 81.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 72 from 90.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 189 2 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtracting 144 from 189 leaves us with 45.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 459 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 459 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 27.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1126.0
Subtracting 432 from 459 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 276 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 276 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11263.0
If we take 216 away from 276, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11263.8
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.

Step 8:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11263.83
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.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11263.833
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11263.833, and the remainder is 0.0024.
