793471 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 793471 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 72

Step 2:
79 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 79 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 72

Step 3:
73 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 72 from 73, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 110.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 147 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 147 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1102.0
If we take 144 away from 147, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 72

Step 6:
72 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11020.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
310 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11020.4
Subtract 288 from 310 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11020.43
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11020.43
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11020.4305
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11020.43055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11020.43055 with a remaining 4e-05.
