We're dividing 490099 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 490099 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 490 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 490, we end up with 58.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 580 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 580 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Deduct 576 from 580 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 680.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 499 / 72

On to step 6:
72 goes into 499 6 times with a remainder of 67.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6806.0
If we take 432 away from 499, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 670 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6806.9
Deduct 648 from 670 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6806.93
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6806.93
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 6806.9305
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6806.93055
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 6806.93055 with a remaining 4e-05.
