Let's divide 817938 by 72
Our goal is to divide 817938 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 81 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 81 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 72 from 97 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 216 from 259.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 433 / 72

On to step 5:
433 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1136.0
Deduct 432 from 433 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11360.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11360.2
If we take 144 away from 180, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11360.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11360.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11360.25
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11360.25 with a remaining 0.0.
