999929 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 999929.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 72

Step 2:
99 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 99, we get 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 279 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 216 from 279, we get 63.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 639 / 72

Step 4:
72 can be fit into 639 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtract 576 from 639 to get 63.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 632 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 632 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1388.0
If we subtract 576 from 632, we get 56.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 569 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 569 7 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13887.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 504 from 569.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
650 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13887.9
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13887.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13887.902
If we take 144 away from 200, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13887.9027
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13887.90277
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.

Our division results in 13887.90277 with a remaining 5.6e-05.
