Let's divide 850473 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 850473 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 85 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 85 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 130 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
130 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 72 from 130 leaves us with 58.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 584 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 584 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Subtract 576 from 584 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 87 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1181.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 72 from 87.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 153 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
153 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11812.0
Deduct 144 from 153 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11812.1
Deduct 72 from 90 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11812.12
Subtract 144 from 180 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11812.125
Deduct 360 from 360 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11812.125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11812.125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 11812.125 with a remainder of 0.0.
