We look at the division of 72489956 by 104 
We're looking to find how many times 104 goes into 72489956.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 104 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 104

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 104 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 724 / 104

Moving on to step 3:
The number 104 fits into 724 6 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 624 from 724 and we're left with 100.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 100 and continue with: 1008 / 104

Step 4:
1008 divided by 104 is 9 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtracting 936 from 1008 leaves us with 72.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 104

On to step 5:
The number 104 fits into 729 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 697.0
Deduct 728 from 729 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 104

Moving on to step 6:
19 divided by 104 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6970.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 195 / 104

Let's proceed to step 7:
104 goes into 195 1 times with a remainder of 91.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69701.0
The remainder is 91 after subtracting 104 from 195.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 91, then repeat: 916 / 104

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 916 by 104, we get 8 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 697018.0
If we take 832 away from 916, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 9:
104 can be fit into 840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 697018.8
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 832 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
104 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 697018.8
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 800 by 104, we get 7 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 697018.807
Deduct 728 from 800 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
104 goes into 720 6 times with a remainder of 96.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 697018.8076
If we subtract 624 from 720, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 960 by 104, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 697018.80769
Deduct 936 from 960 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 104, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 697018.807692
Subtract 208 from 240 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
320 divided by 104 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 697018.8076923
If we subtract 312 from 320, 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.

Step 16:
104 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 697018.8076923
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 697018.8076923 and a remainder of 8e-08.
