Let's divide 494928 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 494928.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 72, we get 0 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 494 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 62.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 432 from 494.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 629 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 629 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Deduct 576 from 629 and we're left with 53.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 532 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 goes into 532 7 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 687.0
Subtract 504 from 532 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
72 can be fit into 288 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6874.0
If we subtract 288 from 288, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6874.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6874.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 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 result is 6874.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
