Let's divide 647699 by 72
Our goal is to divide 647699 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 64 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 64 leaves us with 64.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 647 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 647 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 576 from 647 and we're left with 71.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 716 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 716 9 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 648 from 716 and we're left with 68.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 689 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 689 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 899.0
Deduct 648 from 689 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 419 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8995.0
Subtract 360 from 419 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8995.8
If we subtract 576 from 590, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 140 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8995.81
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8995.819
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8995.8194
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8995.81944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8995.81944, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
