We divide 898756 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 898756 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 89 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 89 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 72

On to step 3:
178 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 178 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 347 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtracting 288 from 347 leaves us with 59.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 595 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 595 8 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1248.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 576 from 595.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 196 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12482.0
Subtracting 144 from 196 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12482.7
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12482.72
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12482.722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 12482.722 with a remainder of 0.0016.
