Let's divide 854764 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 854764 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 85 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 85 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 134 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 72 from 134 to get 62.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 627 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 627 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 576 from 627, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 516 / 72

On to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 516 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1187.0
If we take 504 away from 516, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 72

On to step 6:
124 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 52.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11871.0
Subtract 72 from 124 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11871.7
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11871.72
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11871.722
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.

After the division, we end up with 11871.722 and a remainder of 0.0016.
