989683 divided by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 989683.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 72, we get 0 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.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
98 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 98 to get 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 269 3 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 216 from 269 leaves us with 53.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 536 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 536 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
Deduct 504 from 536 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 328 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 328 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1374.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 288 from 328.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 403 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 403 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 43.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13745.0
If we take 360 away from 403, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13745.5
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 360 from 430.
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:
When dividing 700 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 52.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13745.59
Deduct 648 from 700 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13745.597
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13745.5972
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13745.59722
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

Our division results in 13745.59722 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
