We divide 607964 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 607964 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 607 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 607 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 576 from 607 to get 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 319 4 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtracting 288 from 319 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 316 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 844.0
Subtract 288 from 316 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 284 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8443.0
Subtract 216 from 284 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8443.9
Deduct 648 from 680 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 8:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8443.94
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8443.944
Subtract 288 from 320 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 8443.944 and a remainder of 0.0032.
