Let's divide 16793 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 16793 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 167 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 144 from 167 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 goes into 239 3 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 216 from 239, we get 23.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 233 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 233 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we subtract 216 from 233, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 233.2
If we take 144 away from 170, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 233.23
Subtract 216 from 260 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 233.236
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 233.2361
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 233.23611
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 233.23611, and the remainder is 8e-06.
