Let's divide 894457 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 894457.

Step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 89 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 89 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 174 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 144 from 174, we get 30.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 304 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 288 from 304 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 165 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 165 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1242.0
Deduct 144 from 165 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 217 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12423.0
Subtract 216 from 217 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12423.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12423.01
Subtracting 72 from 100 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12423.013
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12423.0138
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
640 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12423.01388
If we take 576 away from 640, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12423.01388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
