989896 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 989896 by 72.

Step 1:
72 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 269 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 269, we end up with 53.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 can be fit into 538 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137.0
Deduct 504 from 538 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 349 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 349 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 61.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1374.0
Subtracting 288 from 349 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 616 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 616 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13748.0
Deduct 576 from 616 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13748.5
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13748.55
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13748.55, and the remainder is 0.04.
