We're dividing 860131 by 72 
We want to divide 860131 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 72

Step 2:
86 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 86, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 140 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 72 from 140.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 681 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 681 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 648 from 681 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 333 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 333 4 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1194.0
Subtract 288 from 333 to get 45.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 451 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 451 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11946.0
If we take 432 away from 451, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11946.2
Subtract 144 from 190 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11946.26
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11946.263
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11946.2638
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11946.26388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11946.26388, with a leftover of 6.4e-05.
