699718 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 699718 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 69 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 69, we end up with 69.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 699 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 699 9 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 648 from 699.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 517 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 517 7 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 504 from 517 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 131 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 971.0
Deduct 72 from 131 and we're left with 59.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 598 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 598 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9718.0
If we take 576 away from 598, we end up with 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.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9718.3
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9718.3
Deduct 0 from 40 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9718.305
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9718.3055
If we take 360 away from 400, 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.

Our division results in 9718.3055 with a remaining 0.0004.
