We're dividing 972853 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 972853 by 72.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 97 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 252 3 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 216 from 252 and we're left with 36.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 368 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 368 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 135.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 360 from 368.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1351.0
If we subtract 72 from 85, we get 13.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 133 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 133 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13511.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 72 from 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
610 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13511.8
If we take 576 away from 610, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13511.84
Subtract 288 from 340 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13511.847
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13511.8472
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13511.84722
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 13511.84722 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
