Let's divide 493277 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 493277 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
49 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 493 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 493 6 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 493, we end up with 61.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 612 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 can be fit into 612 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 576 from 612.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 367 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 367 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 685.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 360 from 367.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
77 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6851.0
Deduct 72 from 77 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6851.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6851.06
If we subtract 432 from 500, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6851.069
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6851.0694
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6851.06944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6851.06944 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
