Let's divide 998626 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 998626.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 72 from 99.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 278 3 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 216 from 278 and we're left with 62.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 626 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 626 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 50.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we take 576 away from 626, we end up with 50.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 502 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 502 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 70.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1386.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 432 from 502.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 706 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 706 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13869.0
Subtracting 648 from 706 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 goes into 580 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13869.8
If we subtract 576 from 580, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13869.8
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13869.805
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13869.8055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13869.8055 with a balance of 0.0004.
