787889 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 787889 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
78 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 72 from 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
67 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 67.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 0 from 67.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 678 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 678 9 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtracting 648 from 678 leaves us with 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 72

On to step 5:
308 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1094.0
Subtracting 288 from 308 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 209 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 209 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 65.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10942.0
Deduct 144 from 209 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10942.9
Deduct 648 from 650 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10942.9
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10942.902
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10942.9027
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10942.90277
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 10942.90277 with a remainder of 5.6e-05.
