704957 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 704957.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 704 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 704 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 648 from 704 leaves us with 56.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 569 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 569 7 times with a remainder of 65.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtract 504 from 569 to get 65.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 655 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
655 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 979.0
Deduct 648 from 655 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 77 1 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9791.0
Subtract 72 from 77 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9791.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9791.06
If we take 432 away from 500, we end up with 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.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9791.069
Deduct 648 from 680 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.

On to step 10:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9791.0694
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
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 11:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9791.06944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 9791.06944 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
