Let's divide 499474 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 499474.

On to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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

On to step 2:
49 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 499 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 can be fit into 499 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 432 from 499.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 674 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
674 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtract 648 from 674 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 267 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 693.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 216 from 267.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 514 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 514 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6937.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 504 from 514.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6937.1
If we take 72 away from 100, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6937.13
Deduct 216 from 280 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6937.138
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
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 10:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6937.1388
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6937.1388, with a leftover of 0.00064.
