Let's divide 496141 by 72
We want to divide 496141 by 72.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 496 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 goes into 496 6 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 432 from 496 and we're left with 64.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 641 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 641 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 65.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 576 from 641, we get 65.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 654 / 72

Step 5:
72 can be fit into 654 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 689.0
Subtract 648 from 654 to get 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6890.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 610 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6890.8
If we subtract 576 from 610, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
340 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6890.84
Deduct 288 from 340 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6890.847
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6890.8472
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6890.84722
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6890.84722, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
