We're dividing 797923 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 797923 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 79 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 77 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 72 from 77 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 59 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110.0
Deduct 0 from 59 and we're left with 59.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 592 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 592 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1108.0
If we subtract 576 from 592, we get 16.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 163 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 163 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 19.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11082.0
Subtract 144 from 163 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11082.2
Subtract 144 from 190 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11082.26
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11082.263
Subtracting 216 from 280 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11082.2638
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11082.26388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11082.26388, and the remainder is 6.4e-05.
