989087 divided by 72 
We want to divide 989087 by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 98 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 72

Step 3:
269 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 53.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 216 from 269 and we're left with 53.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 530 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 530 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137.0
Subtracting 504 from 530 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 268 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 268 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 52.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1373.0
If we take 216 away from 268, we end up with 52.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 527 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 527 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13737.0
Subtracting 504 from 527 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13737.3
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 216 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13737.31
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 72 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13737.319
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
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 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13737.3194
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13737.31944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13737.31944 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
