696847 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 696847 by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 69 0 times with a remainder of 69.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 696 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 696 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 648 from 696 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 488 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 96.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 432 from 488.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 564 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 564 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 967.0
Subtract 504 from 564 to get 60.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 607 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 607 8 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9678.0
Subtracting 576 from 607 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9678.4
If we subtract 288 from 310, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9678.43
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9678.43
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9678.4305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9678.43055
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9678.43055 and a remainder of 4e-05.
