Let's divide 868851 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 868851 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 86 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 72 away from 86, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 148 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 148 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 48 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 485 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 485 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1206.0
If we take 432 away from 485, we end up with 53.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 531 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 531 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12067.0
Deduct 504 from 531 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 54.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12067.3
Deduct 216 from 270 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12067.37
Subtract 504 from 540 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12067.375
Subtracting 360 from 360 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12067.375
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12067.375
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12067.375, and the remainder is 0.0.
