Let's divide 966959 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 966959.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 96 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 96 to get 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
246 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 30.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 246, we end up with 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 309 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 288 from 309.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 215 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 215 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1342.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 144 from 215.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 719 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
719 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13429.0
If we take 648 away from 719, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 710 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13429.9
Subtracting 648 from 710 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13429.98
If we subtract 576 from 620, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13429.986
If we take 432 away from 440, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13429.9861
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13429.98611
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13429.98611, and the remainder is 8e-06.
