We're dividing 72704616 by 491 
We want to divide 72704616 by 491.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 491 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 491

Advancing to step 2:
491 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 727 / 491

Let's proceed to step 3:
491 can be fit into 727 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 236.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 491 from 727 leaves us with 236.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 236, then repeat: 2360 / 491

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 2360 by 491, we get 4 and a remainder of 396.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 1964 from 2360 and we're left with 396.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 396, then repeat: 3964 / 491

Moving on to step 5:
The number 491 fits into 3964 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 3928 from 3964.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 366 / 491

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 366 by 491, we get 0 and a remainder of 366.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1480.0
Subtracting 0 from 366 leaves us with 366.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 366, then carry on: 3661 / 491

Step 7:
491 goes into 3661 7 times with a remainder of 224.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14807.0
Subtracting 3437 from 3661 leaves us with 224.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 224, then repeat: 2246 / 491

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 2246 by 491, we get 4 with a remainder of 282.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148074.0
Subtracting 1964 from 2246 leaves us with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2820 by 491, we get 5 with a remainder of 365.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 148074.5
If we take 2455 away from 2820, we end up with 365.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3650, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
3650 divided by 491 is 7 with a remainder of 213.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 148074.57
Subtract 3437 from 3650 to get 213.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 2130 by 491, we get 4 and a remainder of 166.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148074.574
Subtract 1964 from 2130 to get 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 1660 by 491, we get 3 and a remainder of 187.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148074.5743
If we subtract 1473 from 1660, we get 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1870 by 491, we get 3 with a remainder of 397.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148074.57433
Deduct 1473 from 1870 and we're left with 397.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3970, and continue the process.

The final result is 148074.57433 with a remainder of 0.000397.
