Start by converting $7\frac{72}{1000}$ to an improper fraction $\frac{884}{125}$.
125 fits into 884 $7$ times, producing 875. Subtract from 884 to get remainder 9. Carry a zero to produce 90.
125 fits into 90 $0$ times. Carry a zero to produce 900.
125 fits into 900 $7$ times, producing 875. Subtract from 900 to get remainder 25. Carry a zero to produce 250.
125 fits into 250 $2$ times, producing 250. Subtract from 250 to get remainder 0.
The remainder is 0, so the final answer is an exact decimal number.
