We divide 863255 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 863255 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 86 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 86, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 143 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 143 1 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 72 from 143.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 712 / 72

On to step 4:
712 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 64.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we take 648 away from 712, we end up with 64.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 645 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 645 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1198.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 576 from 645.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 695 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 695 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11989.0
Subtract 648 from 695 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11989.6
If we subtract 432 from 470, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11989.65
If we take 360 away from 380, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11989.652
Subtract 144 from 200 to 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11989.6527
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11989.65277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 11989.65277 and a remainder of 5.6e-05.
