872927 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 872927 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 72

On to step 2:
87 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 87 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 152 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 152 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 89 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 72 from 89 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 172 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1212.0
If we subtract 144 from 172, we get 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 287 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12123.0
Subtract 216 from 287 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 710 9 times with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12123.9
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 648 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12123.98
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12123.986
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12123.9861
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12123.98611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12123.98611, with a leftover of 8e-06.
