287769 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 287769 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 287 3 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 216 from 287.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 717 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 717 9 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 648 from 717 to get 69.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 696 / 72

On to step 5:
696 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 399.0
If we subtract 648 from 696, we get 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 489 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 57.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3996.0
Subtracting 432 from 489 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 570 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 66.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3996.7
If we take 504 away from 570, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3996.79
Subtract 648 from 660 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3996.791
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3996.7916
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3996.79166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3996.79166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
