Let's divide 679874 by 72
Our goal is to divide 679874 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 67 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 67 leaves us with 67.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 679 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 679 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 648 from 679.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 318 / 72

On to step 4:
318 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtracting 288 from 318 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 307 4 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 944.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 288 from 307.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 194 2 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9442.0
Deduct 144 from 194 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.

Step 7:
72 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9442.6
If we subtract 432 from 500, we get 68.
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 8:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9442.69
If we take 648 away from 680, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9442.694
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.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9442.6944
Subtract 288 from 320 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9442.6944 with a balance of 0.00032.
