We're dividing 968753 by 72 
We want to divide 968753 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
96 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 96 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 248 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 216 from 248.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
327 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 288 from 327.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 395 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 395 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1345.0
Deduct 360 from 395 and we're left with 35.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 353 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 353 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13454.0
Subtracting 288 from 353 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 650 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13454.9
Subtract 648 from 650 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13454.9
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13454.902
Subtracting 144 from 200 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13454.9027
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13454.90277
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 13454.90277 with a remainder of 5.6e-05.
