We look at the division of 494565 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 494565.

Step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 49 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 494 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 goes into 494 6 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 494, we end up with 62.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 625 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 625 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 49.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 576 away from 625, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 496 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 496 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 686.0
If we take 432 away from 496, we end up with 64.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 645 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 645 8 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6868.0
If we take 576 away from 645, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6868.9
Deduct 648 from 690 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6868.95
Subtracting 360 from 420 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6868.958
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6868.9583
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
240 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6868.95833
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6868.95833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
