We look at the division of 128682 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 128682 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 56.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 128 and we're left with 56.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 566 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 566 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 504 from 566, we get 62.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 628 / 72

Step 5:
628 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 576 from 628.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 522 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 522 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1787.0
If we take 504 away from 522, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
180 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1787.2
Deduct 144 from 180 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1787.25
If we subtract 360 from 360, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1787.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1787.25
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1787.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
