We divide 877771 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 877771 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 87 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
157 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 144 from 157.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 137 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we take 72 away from 137, we end up with 65.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 657 / 72

Step 5:
When dividing 657 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1219.0
Subtract 648 from 657 to get 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 91 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12191.0
Subtracting 72 from 91 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12191.2
Subtracting 144 from 190 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 8:
460 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12191.26
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12191.263
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12191.2638
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12191.26388
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12191.26388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
