We divide 959857 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 959857.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 95 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 95 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 239 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 216 from 239 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 238 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtract 216 from 238 to get 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
225 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1333.0
If we take 216 away from 225, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 97 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13331.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 72 from 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13331.3
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.

On to step 8:
72 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13331.34
If we take 288 away from 340, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13331.347
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 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13331.3472
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13331.34722
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.

Our division results in 13331.34722 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
