We divide 704653 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 704653.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 70 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 704 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 704 9 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 648 away from 704, we end up with 56.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 566 / 72

On to step 4:
72 can be fit into 566 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtracting 504 from 566 leaves us with 62.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 625 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 625 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 978.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 576 from 625.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 493 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 493 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9786.0
Subtract 432 from 493 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9786.8
If we take 576 away from 610, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 340 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9786.84
Deduct 288 from 340 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 520 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9786.847
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9786.8472
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9786.84722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9786.84722 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
