We're dividing 494292 by 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 494292.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 494 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
72 can be fit into 494 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 432 from 494 leaves us with 62.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 622 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
72 goes into 622 8 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtracting 576 from 622 leaves us with 46.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 469 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 469 6 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 686.0
Deduct 432 from 469 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 372 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 372 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6865.0
Subtract 360 from 372 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6865.1
Subtract 72 from 120 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6865.16
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6865.166
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.

After the division, we end up with 6865.166 and a remainder of 0.0048.
