We divide 678741 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 678741.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 67 0 times with a remainder of 67.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 67 to get 67.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 678 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 678 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 648 away from 678, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 307 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 307 4 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtract 288 from 307 to get 19.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 194 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 194 2 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 942.0
Subtracting 144 from 194 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 501 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 501 6 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9426.0
Deduct 432 from 501 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9426.9
Subtract 648 from 690 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 420 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9426.95
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 9:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9426.958
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9426.9583
Subtract 216 from 240 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9426.95833
If we subtract 216 from 240, 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.

The final result is 9426.95833 with a remainder of 2.4e-05.
