We divide 681723 by 72
Our goal is to divide 681723 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
68 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 68, we end up with 68.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 681 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 681 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 648 from 681.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 337 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 49.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 94.0
If we take 288 away from 337, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 492 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 492 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 60.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 946.0
Deduct 432 from 492 and we're left with 60.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 603 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 603 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 27.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9468.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 576 from 603.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9468.3
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 216 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 540 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9468.37
Deduct 504 from 540 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9468.375
If we subtract 360 from 360, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9468.375
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9468.375
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9468.375 and a remainder of 0.0.
