We're dividing 494862 by 68 
We're looking to find how many times 68 goes into 494862.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 68, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 68

On to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 494 / 68

Going ahead to step 3:
68 can be fit into 494 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 476 from 494 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 68

Step 4:
188 divided by 68 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 136 from 188 and we're left with 52.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 526 / 68

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 526 by 68, we get 7 with a remainder of 50.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 727.0
Subtracting 476 from 526 leaves us with 50.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 502 / 68

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 502 by 68, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7277.0
Subtract 476 from 502 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 68 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7277.3
Subtract 204 from 260 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
560 divided by 68 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7277.38
Deduct 544 from 560 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 68, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7277.382
If we subtract 136 from 160, we 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.

Step 10:
240 divided by 68 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7277.3823
If we take 204 away from 240, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
68 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7277.38235
Deduct 340 from 360 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 68, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7277.382352
Deduct 136 from 200 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 640 by 68, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7277.3823529
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 612 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
68 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7277.38235294
If we subtract 272 from 280, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7277.38235294 with a balance of 8e-09.
