We look at the division of 878125 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 878125 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 87, we get 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
158 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 144 from 158 to get 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 141 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtract 72 from 141 to get 69.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 692 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 692 9 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1219.0
If we subtract 648 from 692, we get 44.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 445 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
445 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12196.0
If we subtract 432 from 445, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
130 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12196.1
If we take 72 away from 130, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
580 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12196.18
Subtract 576 from 580 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12196.18
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 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12196.1805
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 11:
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: 12196.18055
Deduct 360 from 400 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.

The quotient of the division is 12196.18055, and the remainder is 4e-05.
