739878 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 739878 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 73, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 198 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 198 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we subtract 144 from 198, we get 54.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 547 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 547 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1027.0
Subtract 504 from 547 to get 43.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 438 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 438 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10276.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 432 from 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10276.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10276.08
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10276.083
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.

Moving on to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10276.0833
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 10276.0833, and the remainder is 0.00024.
