Let's divide 81631 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 81631 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 81 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 96 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 72 from 96 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 243 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 243 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113.0
Deduct 216 from 243 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 271 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 55.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1133.0
If we take 216 away from 271, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 550 7 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1133.7
If we take 504 away from 550, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1133.76
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1133.763
Deduct 216 from 280 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1133.7638
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1133.76388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1133.76388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
