We divide 79159 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 79159 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 79 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 71 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 715 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 715 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtracting 648 from 715 leaves us with 67.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 679 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 679 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1099.0
Subtracting 648 from 679 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.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 310 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1099.4
Subtract 288 from 310 to 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.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1099.43
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1099.43
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1099.4305
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1099.43055
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.

The final result is 1099.43055 with a remainder of 4e-05.
