We're dividing 981516 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 981516 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 261 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 261 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 261, we end up with 45.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 455 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 455 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136.0
Subtract 432 from 455 to get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 231 3 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1363.0
If we subtract 216 from 231, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 156 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13632.0
If we take 144 away from 156, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13632.1
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13632.16
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13632.166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 13632.166 with a remainder of 0.0048.
