898752 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 898752 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 89 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 89, we get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 178 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 178 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 347 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 288 from 347 and we're left with 59.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 595 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 595 8 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1248.0
Subtracting 576 from 595 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 192 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 192 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12482.0
If we take 144 away from 192, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12482.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12482.66
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12482.66 with a remaining 0.048.
