We're dividing 997043 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 997043.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 99 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 99 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 277 3 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 216 from 277 leaves us with 61.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 610 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 610 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Deduct 576 from 610 and we're left with 34.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 344 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 344 4 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1384.0
Subtracting 288 from 344 leaves us with 56.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 563 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 563 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13847.0
If we subtract 504 from 563, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
590 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13847.8
If we subtract 576 from 590, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13847.81
Deduct 72 from 140 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13847.819
Subtract 648 from 680 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13847.8194
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13847.81944
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 13847.81944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
