We look at the division of 512916 by 731 
Our goal is to divide 512916 by 731.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 731

On to step 2:
The number 731 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 512 / 731

Moving on to step 3:
The number 731 fits into 512 0 times, leaving a remainder of 512.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 512 leaves us with 512.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 512 and continue with: 5129 / 731

Advancing to step 4:
731 goes into 5129 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 5117 from 5129, we get 12.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 731

Advancing to step 5:
The number 731 fits into 121 0 times, leaving a remainder of 121.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we subtract 0 from 121, we get 121.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 121 and repeat the process: 1216 / 731

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1216 by 731, we get 1 and a remainder of 485.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 701.0
Subtracting 731 from 1216 leaves us with 485.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 4850 by 731, we get 6 and a remainder of 464.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 701.6
The remainder is 464 after subtracting 4386 from 4850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
731 goes into 4640 6 times with a remainder of 254.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 701.66
If we take 4386 away from 4640, we end up with 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 701.66 with a balance of 0.254.
