Let's divide 768851 by 72
We want to divide 768851 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 76 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 48 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
488 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106.0
Subtract 432 from 488 to get 56.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 565 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 565 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1067.0
Subtracting 504 from 565 leaves us with 61.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 611 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 611 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10678.0
Subtracting 576 from 611 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10678.4
Subtract 288 from 350 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10678.48
If we take 576 away from 620, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10678.486
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10678.4861
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10678.48611
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10678.48611, with a leftover of 8e-06.
