We're dividing 720965 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 720965.

On to step 1:
73 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 73

Step 2:
72 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 720 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 720 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 657 away from 720, we end up with 63.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 639 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 639 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 55.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 584 from 639, we get 55.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 556 / 73

On to step 5:
73 goes into 556 7 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 987.0
If we take 511 away from 556, we end up with 45.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 455 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 goes into 455 6 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9876.0
If we subtract 438 from 455, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9876.2
If we take 146 away from 170, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9876.23
If we take 219 away from 240, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9876.232
Deduct 146 from 210 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9876.2328
Subtracting 584 from 640 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
73 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9876.23287
If we subtract 511 from 560, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 490 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9876.232876
If we subtract 438 from 490, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 520 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9876.2328767
Subtract 511 from 520 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9876.23287671
If we take 73 away from 90, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9876.23287671 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
