We divide 72769743 by 987
Our goal is to divide 72769743 by 987.

Let's proceed to step 1:
987 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 987

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 987, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 727 / 987

Step 3:
The number 987 fits into 727 0 times, leaving a remainder of 727.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 727, we end up with 727.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 727 and repeat the process: 7276 / 987

Going ahead to step 4:
987 goes into 7276 7 times with a remainder of 367.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 6909 from 7276 and we're left with 367.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 367 and repeat the process: 3679 / 987

Let's proceed to step 5:
987 can be fit into 3679 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 718.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtract 2961 from 3679 to get 718.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 718 and continue: 7187 / 987

Going ahead to step 6:
7187 divided by 987 is 7 with a remainder of 278.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 737.0
Deduct 6909 from 7187 and we're left with 278.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 278, then carry on: 2784 / 987

Let's proceed to step 7:
2784 divided by 987 is 2 with a remainder of 810.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7372.0
If we take 1974 away from 2784, we end up with 810.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 810 and continue with: 8103 / 987

Moving on to step 8:
8103 divided by 987 is 8 with a remainder of 207.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73728.0
If we take 7896 away from 8103, we end up with 207.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2070, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 2070 by 987, we get 2 and a remainder of 96.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73728.2
If we take 1974 away from 2070, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 10:
960 divided by 987 is 0 with a remainder of 960.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73728.2
If we take 0 away from 960, we end up with 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 9600 by 987, we get 9 and a remainder of 717.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73728.209
Subtract 8883 from 9600 to get 717.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
987 goes into 7170 7 times with a remainder of 261.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73728.2097
Subtracting 6909 from 7170 leaves us with 261.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
987 can be fit into 2610 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 636.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 73728.20972
Subtracting 1974 from 2610 leaves us with 636.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
6360 divided by 987 is 6 with a remainder of 438.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73728.209726
If we subtract 5922 from 6360, we get 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 4380 by 987, we get 4 with a remainder of 432.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73728.2097264
The remainder is 432 after subtracting 3948 from 4380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
4320 divided by 987 is 4 with a remainder of 372.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73728.20972644
The remainder is 372 after subtracting 3948 from 4320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

The final result is 73728.20972644 with a remainder of 3.72e-07.
