Let's divide 709962 by 72
Our goal is to divide 709962 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 70 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 709 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 709 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 648 from 709, we get 61.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 619 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 619 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 576 from 619.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 436 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 436 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 986.0
If we subtract 432 from 436, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 42 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9860.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9860.5
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 360 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
600 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9860.58
If we subtract 576 from 600, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9860.583
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9860.5833
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9860.5833, with a leftover of 0.00024.
