We're dividing 491607 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 491607 can be divided by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 491 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 491 6 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 432 from 491 leaves us with 59.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 596 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 596 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtract 576 from 596 to get 20.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 200 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 682.0
If we subtract 144 from 200, we get 56.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 567 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
567 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 63.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6827.0
If we take 504 away from 567, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 can be fit into 630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6827.8
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 576 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 540 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6827.87
If we subtract 504 from 540, 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6827.875
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6827.875
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6827.875
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

The final result is 6827.875 with a remainder of 0.0.
