We're dividing 754985 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 754985 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 75 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 75 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 75 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 34 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 349 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 349 4 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Deduct 288 from 349 and we're left with 61.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 618 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
618 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1048.0
If we take 576 away from 618, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 425 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 425 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10485.0
Subtracting 360 from 425 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10485.9
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 648 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10485.9
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10485.902
If we take 144 away from 200, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10485.9027
If we subtract 504 from 560, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10485.90277
If we take 504 away from 560, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10485.90277 with a remaining 5.6e-05.
