What is 72 divided by 7?

When you divide 72 by 7, the result is approximately 10.2857. Here’s a simple explanation:

To divide 72 by 7, you can use long division. Here’s how it works:

1. 7 goes into 72 ten times (7 x 10 = 70).
2. Subtract 70 from 72, which leaves a remainder of 2.
3. To get a more precise answer, you can continue the division by adding a decimal point and zeros to the remainder. So, 2 becomes 20.
4. 7 goes into 20 two times (7 x 2 = 14).
5. Subtract 14 from 20, which leaves a remainder of 6.
6. Add another zero to the remainder, making it 60.
7. 7 goes into 60 eight times (7 x 8 = 56).
8. Subtract 56 from 60, which leaves a remainder of 4.
9. Add another zero to the remainder, making it 40.
10. 7 goes into 40 five times (7 x 5 = 35).
11. Subtract 35 from 40, which leaves a remainder of 5.
12. Add another zero to the remainder, making it 50.
13. 7 goes into 50 seven times (7 x 7 = 49).
14. Subtract 49 from 50, which leaves a remainder of 1.

At this point, you can see that the division continues indefinitely, but for practical purposes, you can round the result to 10.2857.
