Let's divide 702883 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 702883 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 70 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 702 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 702 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 648 from 702.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 548 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 548 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we subtract 504 from 548, we get 44.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 448 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 448 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 976.0
If we take 432 away from 448, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 163 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 163 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9762.0
Deduct 144 from 163 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9762.2
Subtracting 144 from 190 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9762.26
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9762.263
Subtract 216 from 280 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9762.2638
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9762.26388
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.

The quotient of the division is 9762.26388, and the remainder is 6.4e-05.
