849697 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 849697 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 84 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 84 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 72 away from 129, we end up with 57.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 576 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 576 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 576 from 576, we get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1180.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11801.0
If we subtract 72 from 97, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
250 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11801.3
If we take 216 away from 250, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11801.34
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 288 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11801.347
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11801.3472
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11801.34722
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11801.34722, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
