494930 ÷ 72 
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 494930.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 72

On to step 3:
When dividing 494 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 62.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 494, we end up with 62.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 629 / 72

On to step 4:
If we divide 629 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 53.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 576 away from 629, we end up with 53.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 533 / 72

On to step 5:
If we divide 533 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 687.0
If we take 504 away from 533, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 290 / 72

On to step 6:
290 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6874.0
If we subtract 288 from 290, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 72 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6874.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6874.02
Subtract 144 from 200 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6874.027
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
72 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6874.0277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6874.0277 with a balance of 0.00056.
