Let's divide 676969 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 676969 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 67 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 67 and we're left with 67.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 676 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 676 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 648 from 676.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 289 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Deduct 288 from 289 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
16 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 940.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 169 2 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9402.0
Subtracting 144 from 169 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
250 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9402.3
If we subtract 216 from 250, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9402.34
If we subtract 288 from 340, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9402.347
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9402.3472
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9402.34722
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9402.34722, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
