764871 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 764871.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 76, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 44 0 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 448 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 106.0
Deduct 432 from 448 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 167 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1062.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 144 from 167.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 231 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10623.0
Subtracting 216 from 231 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10623.2
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 144 from 150.
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:
60 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10623.2
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 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:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10623.208
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
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:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10623.2083
Subtract 216 from 240 to 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.

Step 11:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10623.20833
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.

The quotient of the division is 10623.20833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
