Let's divide 498833 by 72
We want to divide 498833 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 498 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 498, we end up with 66.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 668 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 668 9 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 648 away from 668, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 203 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 203 2 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 692.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 144 from 203.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 593 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
593 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6928.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 576 from 593.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6928.2
Subtracting 144 from 170 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6928.23
If we take 216 away from 260, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 440 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6928.236
If we subtract 432 from 440, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6928.2361
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
72 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6928.23611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6928.23611 with a remaining 8e-06.
