Let's divide 696579 by 72
Our goal is to divide 696579 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 69 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 69 to get 69.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 696 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 696 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 648 from 696, we get 48.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 485 / 72

Step 4:
485 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 53.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we subtract 432 from 485, we get 53.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 537 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 537 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 967.0
Deduct 504 from 537 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 339 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
339 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 51.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9674.0
Subtract 288 from 339 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 510 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9674.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9674.7
If we subtract 0 from 60, we 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:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9674.708
Subtracting 576 from 600 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 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9674.7083
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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 9674.70833
Subtract 216 from 240 to 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.

Our division results in 9674.70833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
