We divide 107489 by 72
We want to divide 107489 by 72.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
10 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 107 / 72

Step 3:
72 goes into 107 1 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 107 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 354 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 288 from 354 and we're left with 66.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 668 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 668 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 149.0
Deduct 648 from 668 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 209 2 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1492.0
Deduct 144 from 209 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1492.9
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 648 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1492.9
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1492.902
If we subtract 144 from 200, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1492.9027
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1492.90277
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 1492.90277 with a remainder of 5.6e-05.
