Let's divide 698972 by 72
We want to divide 698972 by 72.

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
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 72

On to step 2:
69 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 69, we end up with 69.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 698 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 698 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 50.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 648 from 698 leaves us with 50.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 509 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 509 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 504 from 509 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 57 0 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 970.0
Deduct 0 from 57 and we're left with 57.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 572 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 572 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9707.0
If we take 504 away from 572, 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.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9707.9
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9707.94
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9707.944
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.

The final result is 9707.944 with a remainder of 0.0032.
