Let's divide 871593 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 871593.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 87, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 151 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 151 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 151 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 75 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 72 from 75.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1210.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 393 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
393 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 33.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12105.0
If we take 360 away from 393, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 330 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12105.4
Deduct 288 from 330 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12105.45
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 360 from 420.
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 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12105.458
If we subtract 576 from 600, we 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.

Step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12105.4583
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12105.45833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left 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 12105.45833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
