We're dividing 881473 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 881473.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 88 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 88, we get 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 72

On to step 3:
161 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 161 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 174 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 174 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 144 away from 174, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 307 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
307 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1224.0
Subtract 288 from 307 to get 19.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 193 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 193 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 49.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12242.0
If we subtract 144 from 193, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12242.6
If we subtract 432 from 490, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12242.68
If we take 576 away from 580, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12242.68
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12242.6805
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12242.68055
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12242.68055 with a balance of 4e-05.
