We look at the division of 72685 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 72685 can be divided by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 726 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 goes into 726 8 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 680 from 726 to get 46.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 468 / 85

On to step 4:
468 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 43.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 425 from 468 to get 43.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 435 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 can be fit into 435 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 855.0
If we take 425 away from 435, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 855.1
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 855.11
Subtract 85 from 150 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 855.11 with a balance of 0.065.
