We divide 877634 by 72
We want to divide 877634 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 87 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 72

Step 3:
157 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 144 away from 157, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 136 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 136 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 64.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 72 from 136.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 643 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 643 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 67.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1218.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 576 from 643.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 674 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 674 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12189.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 648 from 674.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12189.3
Subtract 216 from 260 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12189.36
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
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 9:
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: 12189.361
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
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:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12189.3611
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.

Our division results in 12189.3611 with a remaining 8e-05.
