81548 divided by 72 
We want to divide 81548 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 81 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 95 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 95 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 72 away from 95, we end up with 23.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 234 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 234 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtracting 216 from 234 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 188 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1132.0
Subtract 144 from 188 to 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.

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1132.6
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1132.61
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
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 8:
72 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1132.611
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.

The quotient of the division is 1132.611, and the remainder is 0.0008.
