Let's divide 852405 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 852405 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
85 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 85 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 132 1 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 72 away from 132, we end up with 60.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 604 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 604 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 576 from 604, we get 28.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 280 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 280 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1183.0
Subtracting 216 from 280 leaves us with 64.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 645 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 645 8 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11838.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 576 from 645.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11838.9
If we take 648 away from 690, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
72 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11838.95
Subtract 360 from 420 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11838.958
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11838.9583
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11838.95833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11838.95833 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
