We look at the division of 72334916 by 494 
We want to divide 72334916 by 494.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 494 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 494

On to step 2:
494 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 723 / 494

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 723 by 494, we get 1 with a remainder of 229.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 494 from 723 leaves us with 229.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 229 and continue with: 2293 / 494

Let's proceed to step 4:
494 can be fit into 2293 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 317.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 1976 away from 2293, we end up with 317.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 317, then carry on: 3174 / 494

Let's proceed to step 5:
494 can be fit into 3174 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 210.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 146.0
If we take 2964 away from 3174, we end up with 210.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 210, then repeat: 2109 / 494

Step 6:
2109 divided by 494 is 4 with a remainder of 133.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1464.0
The remainder is 133 after subtracting 1976 from 2109.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 133, then repeat: 1331 / 494

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1331 by 494, we get 2 with a remainder of 343.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14642.0
Subtracting 988 from 1331 leaves us with 343.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 343, then repeat: 3436 / 494

Moving on to step 8:
3436 divided by 494 is 6 with a remainder of 472.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146426.0
If we take 2964 away from 3436, we end up with 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
4720 divided by 494 is 9 with a remainder of 274.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146426.9
Subtracting 4446 from 4720 leaves us with 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
494 can be fit into 2740 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 270.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 146426.95
If we subtract 2470 from 2740, we get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 2700 by 494, we get 5 and a remainder of 230.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146426.955
If we take 2470 away from 2700, we end up with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 146426.955 with a remaining 0.023.
