We divide 984766 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 984766.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 264 3 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 264, we end up with 48.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 487 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 487 6 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 136.0
If we take 432 away from 487, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 556 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 556 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1367.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 504 from 556.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 526 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
526 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13677.0
Subtract 504 from 526 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.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13677.3
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13677.3
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13677.305
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13677.3055
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.

The quotient of the division is 13677.3055, and the remainder is 0.0004.
