We're dividing 69982471 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 69982471.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 69 0 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 69 and we're left with 69.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 699 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 699 9 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 648 from 699 and we're left with 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 518 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we take 504 away from 518, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 142 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 70.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 971.0
If we take 72 away from 142, we end up with 70.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 704 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 704 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9719.0
Subtracting 648 from 704 leaves us with 56.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 567 / 72

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 567 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 97197.0
If we subtract 504 from 567, we get 63.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 631 / 72

On to step 8:
If we divide 631 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 971978.0
If we take 576 away from 631, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 550 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 46.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 971978.7
Subtract 504 from 550 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 971978.76
If we subtract 432 from 460, we get 28.
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 11:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 971978.763
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
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 12:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 971978.7638
Subtracting 576 from 640 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 13:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 971978.76388
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.

After the division, we end up with 971978.76388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
