497732 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 497732 by 72.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 497 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 497 6 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 497 to get 65.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 657 / 72

Step 4:
657 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we subtract 648 from 657, we get 9.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 93 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 93 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 691.0
Subtract 72 from 93 to get 21.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 212 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 212 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6912.0
Subtract 144 from 212 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
680 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6912.9
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6912.94
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
320 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6912.944
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6912.944 with a balance of 0.0032.
