488838 ÷ 72 
We want to divide 488838 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 488 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 432 from 488, we get 56.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 568 / 72

On to step 4:
568 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we subtract 504 from 568, we get 64.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 643 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 643 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 678.0
If we subtract 576 from 643, we get 67.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 678 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 678 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6789.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 648 from 678.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6789.4
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.

Step 8:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6789.41
If we take 72 away from 120, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6789.416
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 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:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6789.4166
Subtracting 432 from 480 leaves us with 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 6789.4166 with a remaining 0.00048.
