890879 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 890879 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 89 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 72 from 89.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 170 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 144 from 170, we get 26.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 268 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
268 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
Deduct 216 from 268 and we're left with 52.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 527 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 527 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1237.0
If we take 504 away from 527, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
239 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12373.0
If we take 216 away from 239, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12373.3
Subtracting 216 from 230 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12373.31
Deduct 72 from 140 and we're left 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:
The number 72 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12373.319
If we take 648 away from 680, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12373.3194
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.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12373.31944
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 12373.31944 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
