Let's divide 689788 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 689788.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 0 from 68.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 689 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
689 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 648 from 689, we get 41.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 417 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 417 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 95.0
Subtract 360 from 417 to get 57.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 578 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 578 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 958.0
If we take 576 away from 578, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9580.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 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 7:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9580.3
Subtracting 216 from 280 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.

On to step 8:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9580.38
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left 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 9:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9580.388
Subtract 576 from 640 to 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.

The final result is 9580.388 with a remainder of 0.0064.
