We divide 677839 by 72
We want to divide 677839 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 67 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 67.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 67 leaves us with 67.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 677 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 677 9 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 648 from 677 to get 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 298 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtracting 288 from 298 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 103 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 103 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 941.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 72 from 103.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
319 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9414.0
If we subtract 288 from 319, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 310 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9414.4
If we take 288 away from 310, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
220 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9414.43
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9414.43
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9414.4305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9414.43055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9414.43055 with a remaining 4e-05.
