869196 divided by 72 
We want to divide 869196 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 86 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 86, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 149 / 72

On to step 3:
72 can be fit into 149 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 144 from 149.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 51 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 519 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 519 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1207.0
Deduct 504 from 519 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12072.0
If we take 144 away from 156, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12072.1
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12072.16
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12072.166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12072.166 with a remaining 0.0048.
