Let's divide 678477 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 678477 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
67 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 67, we get 67.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 678 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 678 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 648 from 678, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 304 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 94.0
If we subtract 288 from 304, we get 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 72

On to step 5:
167 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 942.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 144 from 167.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 237 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9423.0
Deduct 216 from 237 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9423.2
Subtracting 144 from 210 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9423.29
Subtract 648 from 660 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9423.291
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9423.2916
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9423.29166
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9423.29166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
