We look at the division of 504982 by 72 
We want to divide 504982 by 72.

Step 1:
5 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 504 / 72

Step 3:
72 can be fit into 504 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 504, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 72

On to step 5:
72 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 701.0
Deduct 72 from 98 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 72

Moving on to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 262 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7013.0
If we subtract 216 from 262, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7013.6
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
72 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7013.63
Deduct 216 from 280 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7013.638
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7013.6388
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7013.6388, with a leftover of 0.00064.
