We divide 978635 by 72
Our goal is to divide 978635 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 97 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 72 from 97.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 258 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 258 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 216 from 258 to get 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
426 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 135.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 360 from 426.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 663 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 663 9 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1359.0
Deduct 648 from 663 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 155 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 155 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13592.0
Subtracting 144 from 155 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
110 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13592.1
Deduct 72 from 110 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13592.15
Deduct 360 from 380 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13592.152
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13592.1527
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13592.15277
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13592.15277 and a remainder of 5.6e-05.
