We're dividing 823118 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 823118 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 82 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 82 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 103 / 72

On to step 3:
103 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 72 from 103, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 311 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 311 4 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 288 from 311.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 231 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1143.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 216 from 231.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 158 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11432.0
If we subtract 144 from 158, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11432.1
Deduct 72 from 140 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11432.19
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 648 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11432.194
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11432.1944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11432.1944 with a remaining 0.00032.
