We look at the division of 108854 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 108854 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 108 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 108 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 368 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 360 from 368 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 85 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 151.0
Subtract 72 from 85 to get 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
134 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1511.0
If we take 72 away from 134, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1511.8
Subtract 576 from 620 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1511.86
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1511.861
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1511.8611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1511.8611, with a leftover of 8e-05.
