Let's divide 721588 by 238
We want to divide 721588 by 238.

Advancing to step 1:
238 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 238

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 238, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 721 / 238

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 721 by 238, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 714 from 721, we get 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 238

On to step 4:
The number 238 fits into 75 0 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 75, we end up with 75.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 758 / 238

Step 5:
The number 238 fits into 758 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 303.0
If we take 714 away from 758, we end up with 44.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 448 / 238

Going ahead to step 6:
238 can be fit into 448 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 210.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3031.0
The remainder is 210 after subtracting 238 from 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 2100 by 238, we get 8 with a remainder of 196.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3031.8
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 1904 from 2100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 1960 by 238, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3031.88
Subtracting 1904 from 1960 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 3031.88 with a remaining 0.056.
