We're dividing 396493 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 396493 can be divided by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 396 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
396 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 360 from 396 to get 36.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 364 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
364 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 360 from 364.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 49 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 550.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 493 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 493 6 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5506.0
Subtracting 432 from 493 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5506.8
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 next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5506.84
If we subtract 288 from 340, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
520 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5506.847
If we subtract 504 from 520, 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.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5506.8472
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5506.84722
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 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 5506.84722, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
