We divide 986015 by 72
Our goal is to divide 986015 by 72.

Going ahead to 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
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 266 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 266 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 216 from 266 leaves us with 50.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 500 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 500 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136.0
If we take 432 away from 500, we end up with 68.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 681 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
681 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1369.0
If we take 648 away from 681, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 335 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
335 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13694.0
Subtract 288 from 335 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 470 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13694.6
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 432 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
380 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13694.65
If we take 360 away from 380, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13694.652
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13694.6527
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13694.65277
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13694.65277 with a balance of 5.6e-05.
