876903 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 876903 by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 87 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 156 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 144 away from 156, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 129 1 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we take 72 away from 129, we end up with 57.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 570 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 570 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1217.0
Deduct 504 from 570 and we're left with 66.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 663 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 663 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12179.0
If we subtract 648 from 663, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
150 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12179.2
Subtract 144 from 150 to get 6.
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 8:
The number 72 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12179.2
If we subtract 0 from 60, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12179.208
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12179.2083
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.

Step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12179.20833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left 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 12179.20833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
