498483 divided by 72 
We want to divide 498483 by 72.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 72

On to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 498 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 498 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 432 from 498 and we're left with 66.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 664 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 664 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 648 from 664.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
168 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 692.0
Deduct 144 from 168 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 243 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 243 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6923.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 216 from 243.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6923.3
Deduct 216 from 270 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 540 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6923.37
Deduct 504 from 540 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
360 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6923.375
If we take 360 away from 360, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6923.375
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6923.375
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6923.375 and a remainder of 0.0.
