Let's divide 989448 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 989448 can be divided by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 98, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 72

On 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
Subtracting 216 from 269 leaves us with 53.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 534 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 534 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 137.0
Deduct 504 from 534 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 304 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1374.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 288 from 304.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 72

On to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 168 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13742.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 144 from 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13742.3
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13742.33
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13742.33, with a leftover of 0.024.
