We're dividing 980495 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 980495.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 72 from 98.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 260 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 216 away from 260, we end up with 44.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 444 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 444 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 136.0
Deduct 432 from 444 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
129 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1361.0
Subtracting 72 from 129 leaves us with 57.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 575 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 575 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13617.0
If we take 504 away from 575, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 710 9 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13617.9
If we take 648 away from 710, we end up 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:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13617.98
If we subtract 576 from 620, we get 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 9:
The number 72 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13617.986
Subtracting 432 from 440 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.

On to step 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13617.9861
If we subtract 72 from 80, we 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 11:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13617.98611
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13617.98611 and a remainder of 8e-06.
