Let's divide 716968 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 716968 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 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.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 71.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 716 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 716 9 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 648 away from 716, we end up with 68.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 689 / 72

On to step 4:
689 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 648 from 689.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 416 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
416 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 995.0
If we take 360 away from 416, we end up with 56.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 568 / 72

On to step 6:
568 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9957.0
Subtracting 504 from 568 leaves us 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 7:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9957.8
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up 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.

Step 8:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9957.88
If we subtract 576 from 640, we 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.

The final result is 9957.88 with a remainder of 0.064.
