497956 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 497956.

On to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 497 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 497 6 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 497 to get 65.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 659 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 659 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtracting 648 from 659 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 115 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 goes into 115 1 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 691.0
Subtracting 72 from 115 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 436 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 436 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6916.0
If we subtract 432 from 436, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6916.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6916.05
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6916.055
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6916.055 with a remaining 0.004.
