We're dividing 109761 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 109761 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 72

On to step 2:
10 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 109 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 109 leaves us with 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 377 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 377 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 360 from 377 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 176 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152.0
If we subtract 144 from 176, we get 32.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 321 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
321 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1524.0
Deduct 288 from 321 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1524.4
If we subtract 288 from 330, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1524.45
Subtract 360 from 420 to 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.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1524.458
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.

On to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1524.4583
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1524.45833
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 1524.45833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
