875967 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 875967 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 72 from 87.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 155 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 155 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 155 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 72

On to step 4:
119 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we take 72 away from 119, we end up with 47.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 476 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 476 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1216.0
If we take 432 away from 476, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 447 / 72

On to step 6:
72 can be fit into 447 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12166.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 432 from 447.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12166.2
Deduct 144 from 150 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 60 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12166.2
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12166.208
Deduct 576 from 600 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12166.2083
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12166.20833
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12166.20833 and a remainder of 2.4e-05.
