We're dividing 709909 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 709909 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 72

Step 2:
70 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 709 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
709 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 648 from 709 and we're left with 61.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 619 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 619 8 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
Subtract 576 from 619 to get 43.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 430 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 985.0
If we take 360 away from 430, we end up with 70.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 709 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 709 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9859.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 648 from 709.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 610 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9859.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 576 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9859.84
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 288 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9859.847
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9859.8472
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9859.84722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9859.84722, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
