Let's divide 764929 by 72
We want to divide 764929 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 76 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 76 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 44 0 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 44 leaves us with 44.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 449 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 449 6 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
If we subtract 432 from 449, we get 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 172 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1062.0
If we take 144 away from 172, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
289 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10624.0
Deduct 288 from 289 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10624.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10624.01
If we subtract 72 from 100, we 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.

On to step 9:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10624.013
Subtract 216 from 280 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.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10624.0138
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10624.01388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we 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 10624.01388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
