72976592 ÷ 493 
Our goal is to divide 72976592 by 493.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 493 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 493

Going ahead to step 2:
493 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 729 / 493

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 729 by 493, we get 1 with a remainder of 236.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 493 from 729 and we're left with 236.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 236, then repeat: 2367 / 493

Step 4:
493 can be fit into 2367 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 395.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 1972 away from 2367, we end up with 395.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 395 and continue: 3956 / 493

Step 5:
The number 493 fits into 3956 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 148.0
Deduct 3944 from 3956 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 493

Going ahead to step 6:
125 divided by 493 is 0 with a remainder of 125.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1480.0
If we subtract 0 from 125, we get 125.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 125 and continue with: 1259 / 493

On to step 7:
If we divide 1259 by 493, we get 2 and a remainder of 273.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14802.0
The remainder is 273 after subtracting 986 from 1259.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 273, then repeat: 2732 / 493

Let's proceed to step 8:
493 can be fit into 2732 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 267.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148025.0
Deduct 2465 from 2732 and we're left with 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 2670 by 493, we get 5 with a remainder of 205.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148025.5
Deduct 2465 from 2670 and we're left with 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
493 can be fit into 2050 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148025.54
Subtract 1972 from 2050 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 780 by 493, we get 1 with a remainder of 287.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 148025.541
Subtract 493 from 780 to get 287.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
2870 divided by 493 is 5 with a remainder of 405.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148025.5415
The remainder is 405 after subtracting 2465 from 2870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4050, and continue the process.

Step 13:
4050 divided by 493 is 8 with a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148025.54158
Subtract 3944 from 4050 to get 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
493 goes into 1060 2 times with a remainder of 74.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148025.541582
Deduct 986 from 1060 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 740 by 493, we get 1 with a remainder of 247.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148025.5415821
Subtract 493 from 740 to get 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2470, and continue the process.

Step 16:
493 can be fit into 2470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148025.54158215
Deduct 2465 from 2470 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.

The quotient of the division is 148025.54158215, and the remainder is 5e-09.
