We're dividing 986603 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 986603 by 72.

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
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 266 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 216 from 266 to get 50.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 506 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 506 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we take 504 away from 506, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1370.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 203 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 203 2 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13702.0
Subtract 144 from 203 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 590 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13702.8
Subtracting 576 from 590 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
140 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 68.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13702.81
Subtracting 72 from 140 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13702.819
Deduct 648 from 680 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.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13702.8194
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13702.81944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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 13702.81944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
