97762 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 97762 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 97, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 257 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 257, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 416 / 72

Step 4:
416 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135.0
If we subtract 360 from 416, we get 56.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 562 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 562 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1357.0
If we take 504 away from 562, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 6:
580 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1357.8
If we take 576 away from 580, we end up 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 7:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1357.8
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1357.805
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1357.8055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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 1357.8055 with a remaining 0.0004.
