898502 ÷ 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 898502 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 72

On to step 2:
72 can be fit into 89 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 89 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 178 2 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 144 from 178, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 345 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 345 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 57.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtracting 288 from 345 leaves us with 57.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 570 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 570 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1247.0
If we take 504 away from 570, we end up with 66.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 662 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 662 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12479.0
Subtracting 648 from 662 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12479.1
Deduct 72 from 140 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12479.19
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12479.194
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12479.1944
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12479.1944, with a leftover of 0.00032.
