986541 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 986541.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 98, we get 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 266 3 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 216 from 266 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 505 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 505 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we take 504 away from 505, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 14 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1370.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 141 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13701.0
Subtracting 72 from 141 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 690 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13701.9
Subtract 648 from 690 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13701.95
Deduct 360 from 420 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13701.958
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13701.9583
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13701.95833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13701.95833, with a leftover of 2.4e-05.
