We divide 81975 by 72
We want to divide 81975 by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 81 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 81 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 99 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 72 from 99, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 277 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
277 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we take 216 away from 277, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 615 / 72

Step 5:
615 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 39.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1138.0
Subtracting 576 from 615 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
72 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1138.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 360 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1138.54
If we take 288 away from 300, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1138.541
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 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 9:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1138.5416
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1138.54166
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.

The final outcome is 1138.54166, with a leftover of 4.8e-05.
