896692 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 896692 by 72.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 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 (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
89 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 89 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
176 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 176 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 326 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 326 4 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 288 from 326.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 389 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 389 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1245.0
If we subtract 360 from 389, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 goes into 292 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12454.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 288 from 292.
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:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12454.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12454.05
Subtracting 360 from 400 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12454.055
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.

The quotient of the division is 12454.055, and the remainder is 0.004.
