72960479 ÷ 488 
We want to figure out the number of times 72960479 can be divided by 488.

Going ahead to step 1:
488 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 488

Advancing to step 2:
488 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 488

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 729 by 488, we get 1 and a remainder of 241.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 488 from 729, we get 241.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 241 and repeat the process: 2416 / 488

Step 4:
2416 divided by 488 is 4 with a remainder of 464.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 464 after subtracting 1952 from 2416.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 464 and repeat the process: 4640 / 488

Going ahead to step 5:
488 goes into 4640 9 times with a remainder of 248.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 149.0
If we take 4392 away from 4640, we end up with 248.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 248 and continue with: 2484 / 488

Step 6:
488 goes into 2484 5 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1495.0
Subtract 2440 from 2484 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 447 / 488

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 447 by 488, we get 0 and a remainder of 447.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14950.0
Deduct 0 from 447 and we're left with 447.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 447, then repeat: 4479 / 488

Step 8:
488 goes into 4479 9 times with a remainder of 87.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 149509.0
If we subtract 4392 from 4479, we get 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
488 can be fit into 870 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 382.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 149509.1
If we subtract 488 from 870, we get 382.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 3820 by 488, we get 7 with a remainder of 404.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149509.17
If we take 3416 away from 3820, we end up with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
4040 divided by 488 is 8 with a remainder of 136.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149509.178
If we subtract 3904 from 4040, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1360 divided by 488 is 2 with a remainder of 384.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149509.1782
If we take 976 away from 1360, we end up with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
3840 divided by 488 is 7 with a remainder of 424.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149509.17827
Deduct 3416 from 3840 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 4240 by 488, we get 8 with a remainder of 336.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149509.178278
If we take 3904 away from 4240, we end up with 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 3360 by 488, we get 6 and a remainder of 432.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149509.1782786
Subtracting 2928 from 3360 leaves us with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
488 can be fit into 4320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 416.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 149509.17827868
Subtract 3904 from 4320 to get 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 149509.17827868 with a balance of 4.16e-07.
