766461 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 766461 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 72

On to step 2:
76 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 72 from 76.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 464 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 464 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 106.0
Deduct 432 from 464 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 326 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 326 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1064.0
If we take 288 away from 326, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 381 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 381 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10645.0
If we subtract 360 from 381, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10645.2
Subtract 144 from 210 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 8:
660 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10645.29
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 648 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10645.291
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.

Step 10:
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: 10645.2916
Subtract 432 from 480 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10645.29166
Subtract 432 from 480 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 10645.29166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
