We divide 841487 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 841487 can be divided by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 84 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 121 1 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 72 from 121 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 494 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 494 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 116.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 432 from 494.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 628 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 628 8 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1168.0
Deduct 576 from 628 and we're left with 52.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 527 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 527 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11687.0
Subtracting 504 from 527 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11687.3
If we take 216 away from 230, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 140 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 68.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11687.31
If we take 72 away from 140, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11687.319
Subtract 648 from 680 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11687.3194
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11687.31944
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 11687.31944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
