We divide 887399 by 72
We want to divide 887399 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 88, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 167 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 144 from 167.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 233 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 233 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 123.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 216 from 233.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 179 2 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1232.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 144 from 179.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 359 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
359 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12324.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 288 from 359.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 710 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12324.9
If we subtract 648 from 710, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12324.98
If we take 576 away from 620, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12324.986
Subtracting 432 from 440 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12324.9861
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 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 11:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12324.98611
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.

After the division, we end up with 12324.98611 and a remainder of 8e-06.
