We look at the division of 899283 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 899283 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 89 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 89 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 179 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 144 from 179.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 352 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 352 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 288 from 352.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 648 / 72

Step 5:
72 goes into 648 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1249.0
If we take 648 away from 648, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12490.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12490.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
72 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12490.04
Deduct 288 from 300 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12490.041
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12490.0416
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12490.04166
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12490.04166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
