869711 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 869711 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 86, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 149 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 149 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 57 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 57.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we subtract 0 from 57, we get 57.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 571 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 571 7 times with a remainder of 67.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1207.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 504 from 571.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 671 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
671 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12079.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 648 from 671.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12079.3
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 216 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12079.31
If we subtract 72 from 140, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12079.319
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12079.3194
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up 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.

Step 11:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12079.31944
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 outcome is 12079.31944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
