127589 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 127589 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
127 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 127 to get 55.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 555 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 555 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 504 from 555.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 518 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 518 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 504 from 518 to get 14.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 149 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 149 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1772.0
Subtract 144 from 149 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
50 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1772.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
500 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1772.06
Subtract 432 from 500 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1772.069
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1772.0694
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1772.06944
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1772.06944 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
