Let's divide 72044509 by 492
Let's see how many times 492 fits into 72044509.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 492 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 492

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 492 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 720 / 492

Going ahead to step 3:
720 divided by 492 is 1 with a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 492 from 720 leaves us with 228.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 228, then repeat: 2284 / 492

Moving on to step 4:
492 goes into 2284 4 times with a remainder of 316.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 1968 from 2284 and we're left with 316.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 316, then carry on: 3164 / 492

Let's proceed to step 5:
492 goes into 3164 6 times with a remainder of 212.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146.0
If we take 2952 away from 3164, we end up with 212.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 212, then repeat: 2125 / 492

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 2125 by 492, we get 4 and a remainder of 157.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1464.0
If we subtract 1968 from 2125, we get 157.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 157, then repeat: 1570 / 492

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 492 fits into 1570 3 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14643.0
If we take 1476 away from 1570, we end up with 94.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 94, then repeat: 949 / 492

Let's proceed to step 8:
949 divided by 492 is 1 with a remainder of 457.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146431.0
If we take 492 away from 949, we end up with 457.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 492 fits into 4570 9 times, leaving a remainder of 142.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146431.9
If we subtract 4428 from 4570, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 492 fits into 1420 2 times, leaving a remainder of 436.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146431.92
The remainder is 436 after subtracting 984 from 1420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 4360 by 492, we get 8 with a remainder of 424.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146431.928
Deduct 3936 from 4360 and we're left with 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 492 fits into 4240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 304.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146431.9288
Subtracting 3936 from 4240 leaves us with 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 146431.9288 and a remainder of 0.00304.
