96657 divided by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 96657.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 96 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 96 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 246 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 216 from 246.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 305 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 305 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 134.0
If we take 288 away from 305, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 177 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 177 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1342.0
If we take 144 away from 177, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 330 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1342.4
Deduct 288 from 330 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1342.45
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 360 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1342.458
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1342.4583
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1342.45833
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1342.45833 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
