We divide 72868 by 85
We want to divide 72868 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 85

On to step 2:
72 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 728 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 728 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 680 from 728 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 486 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 486 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 425 away from 486, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 618 / 85

Step 5:
85 goes into 618 7 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 857.0
Subtract 595 from 618 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 6:
85 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 857.2
Subtracting 170 from 230 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 857.27
Subtract 595 from 600 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 857.27
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 857.2705
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 857.27058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 857.270588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 857.270588 with a remaining 2e-06.
