We look at the division of 969617 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 969617.

Step 1:
72 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 72

Step 2:
96 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 96 to get 24.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 249 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 249 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 216 from 249 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 336 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 336 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 134.0
Subtract 288 from 336 to get 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 481 6 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1346.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 432 from 481.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 497 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 497 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13466.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 432 from 497.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 650 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13466.9
Deduct 648 from 650 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13466.9
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13466.902
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13466.9027
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13466.90277
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13466.90277 with a balance of 5.6e-05.
