874772 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 874772.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 87 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 72

Step 3:
154 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 154 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 107 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 107 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtract 72 from 107 to get 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 357 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1214.0
If we subtract 288 from 357, we get 69.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 692 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 692 9 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12149.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 648 from 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 440 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12149.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
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: 12149.61
Deduct 72 from 80 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12149.611
Deduct 72 from 80 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.

Our division results in 12149.611 with a remaining 0.0008.
