Let's divide 8681 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 8681 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 86, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 148 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 144 from 148 to get 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
72 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120.5
Deduct 360 from 410 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 500 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120.56
Subtracting 432 from 500 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120.569
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120.5694
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 120.56944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 120.56944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
