72976 ÷ 60 
We're looking to find how many times 60 goes into 72976.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 60 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 60

Step 2:
When dividing 72 by 60, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 60 from 72 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 60

Moving on to step 3:
60 goes into 129 2 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 120 from 129.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 60

Going ahead to step 4:
60 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Deduct 60 from 97 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 376 / 60

Step 5:
The number 60 fits into 376 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1216.0
Deduct 360 from 376 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 160 by 60, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1216.2
If we take 120 away from 160, 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 400 by 60, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1216.26
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 60 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1216.266
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 1216.266 and a remainder of 0.004.
