We divide 783987 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 783987.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 78 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 63 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 63 to get 63.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 639 / 72

Step 4:
639 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 576 from 639, we get 63.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 638 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 638 8 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1088.0
If we take 576 away from 638, we end up with 62.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 627 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 627 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10888.0
If we take 576 away from 627, we end up with 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.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10888.7
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.

Step 8:
60 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10888.7
Subtract 0 from 60 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10888.708
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:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10888.7083
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10888.70833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10888.70833 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
