72969055 divided by 872 
We're looking to find how many times 872 goes into 72969055.

Going ahead to step 1:
872 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 872

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 872

On to step 3:
The number 872 fits into 729 0 times, leaving a remainder of 729.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 729 leaves us with 729.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 729, then repeat: 7296 / 872

Let's proceed to step 4:
7296 divided by 872 is 8 with a remainder of 320.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 6976 from 7296 leaves us with 320.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 320 and continue with: 3209 / 872

Step 5:
If we divide 3209 by 872, we get 3 and a remainder of 593.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtracting 2616 from 3209 leaves us with 593.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 593, then repeat: 5930 / 872

Going ahead to step 6:
872 goes into 5930 6 times with a remainder of 698.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 836.0
If we take 5232 away from 5930, we end up with 698.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 698 and continue: 6985 / 872

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 6985 by 872, we get 8 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8368.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 6976 from 6985.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 872

Step 8:
The number 872 fits into 95 0 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83680.0
If we subtract 0 from 95, we get 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
872 goes into 950 1 times with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83680.1
If we subtract 872 from 950, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
872 goes into 780 0 times with a remainder of 780.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83680.1
If we subtract 0 from 780, we get 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
872 can be fit into 7800 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 824.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83680.108
The remainder is 824 after subtracting 6976 from 7800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 8240 by 872, we get 9 and a remainder of 392.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83680.1089
The remainder is 392 after subtracting 7848 from 8240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
872 can be fit into 3920 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 432.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83680.10894
Deduct 3488 from 3920 and we're left with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
872 can be fit into 4320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 832.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 83680.108944
The remainder is 832 after subtracting 3488 from 4320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 83680.108944 with a remaining 8.32e-05.
