We divide 877697 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 877697.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 72

Step 2:
87 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 87 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 157 2 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 144 from 157.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 136 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 136 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 72 from 136.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 649 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
649 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1219.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 648 from 649.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12190.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12190.2
Subtract 144 from 170 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 260 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12190.23
If we subtract 216 from 260, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12190.236
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 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 10:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12190.2361
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12190.23611
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12190.23611 with a balance of 8e-06.
