We look at the division of 873060 by 72 
We want to divide 873060 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 87 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 153 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 153 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 153 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 90 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 72 from 90, we get 18.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 186 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 186 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1212.0
Subtract 144 from 186 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 420 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12125.0
If we subtract 360 from 420, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12125.8
If we take 576 away from 600, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12125.83
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12125.833
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12125.833 with a balance of 0.0024.
