We're dividing 687000 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 687000 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 68 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 68 to get 68.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 687 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 687 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 648 from 687 to get 39.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 390 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 95.0
If we take 360 away from 390, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 300 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 954.0
If we take 288 away from 300, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9541.0
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9541.6
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9541.66
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9541.66, with a leftover of 0.048.
