We're dividing 494361 by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 494361.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 72

Step 2:
If we divide 49 by 72, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 494 / 72

On to step 3:
494 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 494 to get 62.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 623 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 623 8 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtract 576 from 623 to get 47.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 476 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 476 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 686.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 432 from 476.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 441 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 441 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6866.0
Deduct 432 from 441 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6866.1
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 72 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6866.12
If we subtract 144 from 180, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6866.125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6866.125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6866.125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6866.125, with a leftover of 0.0.
