875742 divided by 72 
We want to divide 875742 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 72

On to 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
Deduct 72 from 87 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 155 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 155 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 144 from 155 to get 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 117 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 72 from 117.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 454 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
454 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1216.0
Deduct 432 from 454 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 222 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 222 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12163.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 216 from 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
60 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12163.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12163.08
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12163.083
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12163.0833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12163.0833 with a remaining 0.00024.
