We divide 504499 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 504499 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 504 / 72

On to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 504 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 504 from 504 to get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 49 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 700.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 499 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 499 6 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7006.0
Subtract 432 from 499 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 670 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7006.9
If we subtract 648 from 670, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 220 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7006.93
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7006.93
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 72 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7006.9305
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7006.93055
Subtracting 360 from 400 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7006.93055 with a balance of 4e-05.
