840774 divided by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 840774 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 72

On to step 2:
84 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 84, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 487 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 487 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 55.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 116.0
Subtracting 432 from 487 leaves us with 55.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 557 / 72

Step 5:
557 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1167.0
If we take 504 away from 557, we end up with 53.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 534 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 534 7 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11677.0
Deduct 504 from 534 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11677.4
If we take 288 away from 300, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11677.41
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11677.416
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11677.4166
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11677.4166, with a leftover of 0.00048.
