116497 ÷ 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 116497.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 11 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 116 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 116 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 444 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 444 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 432 from 444 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 129 1 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 161.0
If we take 72 away from 129, we end up with 57.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 577 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 577 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1618.0
Subtracting 576 from 577 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1618.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1618.01
Deduct 72 from 100 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1618.013
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1618.0138
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1618.01388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1618.01388 with a remaining 6.4e-05.
