854504 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 854504 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 85, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 134 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 72 from 134 and we're left with 62.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 625 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 625 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
Subtracting 576 from 625 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 490 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1186.0
Subtract 432 from 490 to get 58.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 584 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 584 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11868.0
Subtracting 576 from 584 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11868.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11868.11
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 11868.11, and the remainder is 0.008.
