We divide 703685 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 703685.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 703 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 703 9 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 648 from 703 to get 55.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 556 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 556 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we subtract 504 from 556, we get 52.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 528 / 72

Step 5:
528 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 977.0
Subtract 504 from 528 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
245 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9773.0
Subtract 216 from 245 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 290 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9773.4
Subtract 288 from 290 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9773.4
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
200 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9773.402
Subtract 144 from 200 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9773.4027
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9773.40277
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9773.40277, and the remainder is 5.6e-05.
