We're dividing 699784 by 72 
We want to divide 699784 by 72.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 69 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 69, we end up with 69.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 699 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 699 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 648 from 699.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 517 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
517 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtracting 504 from 517 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 138 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 971.0
Deduct 72 from 138 and we're left with 66.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 664 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
664 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9719.0
Subtract 648 from 664 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9719.2
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9719.22
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9719.22 with a remaining 0.016.
