We look at the division of 781179 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 781179 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 78 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 61 0 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 611 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 611 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 108.0
Deduct 576 from 611 and we're left with 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 357 4 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1084.0
Subtracting 288 from 357 leaves us with 69.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 699 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 699 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10849.0
Subtract 648 from 699 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 510 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10849.7
Deduct 504 from 510 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.

Advancing to step 8:
72 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10849.7
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.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10849.708
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10849.7083
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10849.70833
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.

Our division results in 10849.70833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
