985211 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 985211.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 72 from 98 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 265 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 265 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 216 from 265.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 492 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 492 6 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136.0
Subtract 432 from 492 to get 60.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 601 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 601 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1368.0
If we take 576 away from 601, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 251 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13683.0
If we subtract 216 from 251, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13683.4
Deduct 288 from 350 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 620 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13683.48
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 576 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13683.486
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13683.4861
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13683.48611
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.

Our division results in 13683.48611 with a remaining 8e-06.
