We divide 495953 by 72
We want to divide 495953 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 72, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 495 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 495 6 times with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 432 from 495 leaves us with 63.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 639 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 639 8 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 576 from 639, we get 63.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 635 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 635 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 688.0
If we subtract 576 from 635, we get 59.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 593 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 593 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6888.0
Subtracting 576 from 593 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6888.2
Deduct 144 from 170 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6888.23
If we subtract 216 from 260, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6888.236
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 10:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6888.2361
If we take 72 away from 80, 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 6888.23611
If we take 72 away from 80, 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.

Our division results in 6888.23611 with a remaining 8e-06.
