We're dividing 746891 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 746891.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 26 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 268 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 268 3 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 103.0
Deduct 216 from 268 and we're left with 52.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 529 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 529 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1037.0
Deduct 504 from 529 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 251 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 251 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10373.0
Subtract 216 from 251 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
350 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10373.4
If we take 288 away from 350, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
620 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10373.48
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10373.486
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10373.4861
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10373.48611
Subtracting 72 from 80 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.

After the division, we end up with 10373.48611 and a remainder of 8e-06.
