740973 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 740973 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 20 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 209 2 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 144 from 209.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 657 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 657 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1029.0
Subtract 648 from 657 to get 9.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 93 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 93 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10291.0
Subtracting 72 from 93 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10291.2
If we subtract 144 from 210, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10291.29
If we take 648 away from 660, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10291.291
If we take 72 away from 120, 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10291.2916
Deduct 432 from 480 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 11:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10291.29166
Deduct 432 from 480 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.

After the division, we end up with 10291.29166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
