We're dividing 850238 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 850238.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 85, we get 13.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 130 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 72 from 130 leaves us with 58.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 582 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 582 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 576 from 582, we get 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 63 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 63.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1180.0
Subtract 0 from 63 to get 63.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 638 / 72

Step 6:
638 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 62.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11808.0
Subtracting 576 from 638 leaves us 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 7:
When dividing 620 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11808.8
If we take 576 away from 620, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 440 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11808.86
If we take 432 away from 440, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11808.861
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left 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 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11808.8611
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 11808.8611, and the remainder is 8e-05.
