Let's divide 7678974 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 7678974.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 76 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 76 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 47 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 478 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 478 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
Deduct 432 from 478 and we're left with 46.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 469 / 72

Step 5:
469 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1066.0
If we take 432 away from 469, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 377 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
377 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10665.0
Subtract 360 from 377 to get 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 72

Going ahead to step 7:
174 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106652.0
Subtracting 144 from 174 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 106652.4
Subtracting 288 from 300 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 106652.41
Deduct 72 from 120 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106652.416
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106652.4166
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 106652.4166, and the remainder is 0.00048.
