873854 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 873854 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 72

Advancing 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
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 72 from 87.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 153 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 153 2 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 144 from 153 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 98 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 265 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 265 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1213.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 216 from 265.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 494 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 can be fit into 494 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12136.0
Subtract 432 from 494 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12136.8
If we take 576 away from 620, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12136.86
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12136.861
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12136.8611
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12136.8611 and a remainder of 8e-05.
