We divide 901915 by 72
Our goal is to divide 901915 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 72

On to step 2:
90 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 72 from 90.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 181 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 181 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 181 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 379 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtracting 360 from 379 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
191 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 47.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1252.0
Deduct 144 from 191 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 475 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 475 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12526.0
If we subtract 432 from 475, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12526.5
Subtract 360 from 430 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12526.59
Subtracting 648 from 700 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12526.597
Subtract 504 from 520 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.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12526.5972
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12526.59722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
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 outcome is 12526.59722, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
