We look at the division of 861254 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 861254 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 86 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 86, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 72

Step 3:
141 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 72 from 141.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 692 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 692 9 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 648 from 692.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 445 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
445 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1196.0
If we take 432 away from 445, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
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: 11961.0
Deduct 72 from 134 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11961.8
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
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:
72 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11961.86
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left 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 9:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11961.861
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11961.8611
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11961.8611 with a remaining 8e-05.
