We're dividing 704849 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 704849 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 704 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 704 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 648 from 704 and we're left with 56.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 568 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 568 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 504 from 568.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 644 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 644 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 978.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 576 from 644.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 689 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 689 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9789.0
Subtracting 648 from 689 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9789.5
Deduct 360 from 410 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9789.56
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 432 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9789.569
Subtracting 648 from 680 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.

Advancing 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: 9789.5694
Deduct 288 from 320 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9789.56944
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 9789.56944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
