Let's divide 852441 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 852441.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with 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 (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 85 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 132 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 132 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 60.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 72 from 132 and we're left with 60.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 604 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 604 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 576 from 604.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 284 3 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1183.0
Subtract 216 from 284 to get 68.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 681 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 681 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11839.0
Deduct 648 from 681 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 330 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11839.4
Deduct 288 from 330 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
420 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11839.45
Subtracting 360 from 420 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11839.458
Deduct 576 from 600 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11839.4583
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
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:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11839.45833
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 result is 11839.45833 with a remainder of 2.4e-05.
