We look at the division of 868953 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 868953 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 86 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 86, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
148 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 148 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 120.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 495 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 495 6 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1206.0
Deduct 432 from 495 and we're left with 63.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 633 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
72 goes into 633 8 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12068.0
Subtract 576 from 633 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12068.7
Subtracting 504 from 570 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12068.79
If we subtract 648 from 660, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12068.791
Subtracting 72 from 120 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12068.7916
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12068.79166
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12068.79166 with a balance of 4.8e-05.
