We're dividing 977423 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 977423.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 72

On to step 2:
97 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 97, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 257 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 216 from 257.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 414 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 414 5 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135.0
Subtract 360 from 414 to get 54.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 542 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 542 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1357.0
If we subtract 504 from 542, we get 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 383 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13575.0
Subtract 360 from 383 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13575.3
Subtracting 216 from 230 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13575.31
If we take 72 away from 140, 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13575.319
If we subtract 648 from 680, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13575.3194
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13575.31944
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.

The final outcome is 13575.31944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
