10725982 ÷ 144 
We want to figure out the number of times 10725982 can be divided by 144.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 144, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 144

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 10 by 144, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 107 / 144

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 107 by 144, we get 0 and a remainder of 107.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 0 from 107.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 107 and continue: 1072 / 144

Let's proceed to step 4:
1072 divided by 144 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 1008 from 1072, we get 64.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 645 / 144

Going ahead to step 5:
144 goes into 645 4 times with a remainder of 69.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 576 away from 645, we end up with 69.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 699 / 144

Step 6:
144 can be fit into 699 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 744.0
If we subtract 576 from 699, we get 123.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 123, then repeat: 1238 / 144

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 1238 by 144, we get 8 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7448.0
If we subtract 1152 from 1238, we get 86.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 862 / 144

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 144 fits into 862 5 times, leaving a remainder of 142.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74485.0
If we subtract 720 from 862, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 1420 by 144, we get 9 with a remainder of 124.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74485.9
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 1296 from 1420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
144 can be fit into 1240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74485.98
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 1152 from 1240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 144 fits into 880 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74485.986
If we subtract 864 from 880, 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.

Moving on to step 12:
144 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74485.9861
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.

Step 13:
144 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 74485.98611
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 74485.98611 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
