We divide 989428 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 989428 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 269 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 53.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 216 from 269 to get 53.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 534 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 534 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137.0
Subtracting 504 from 534 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
302 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1374.0
Subtracting 288 from 302 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 148 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13742.0
Deduct 144 from 148 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13742.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13742.05
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13742.055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13742.055, and the remainder is 0.004.
