We're dividing 874211 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 874211 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 72 from 87.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 154 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
154 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 154 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 102 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 72 from 102, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 301 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1214.0
If we subtract 288 from 301, we get 13.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 131 1 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12141.0
Deduct 72 from 131 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12141.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 576 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12141.81
If we take 72 away from 140, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12141.819
If we subtract 648 from 680, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12141.8194
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12141.81944
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12141.81944, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
