Let's divide 876693 by 72
Our goal is to divide 876693 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 87 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 87 to get 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 156 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 126 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 54.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 72 from 126.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 549 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 549 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1217.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 504 from 549.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 453 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 453 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12176.0
Subtract 432 from 453 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12176.2
Subtract 144 from 210 to get 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:
660 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12176.29
Deduct 648 from 660 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12176.291
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12176.2916
Subtract 432 from 480 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 11:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12176.29166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we 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.

Our division results in 12176.29166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
