We look at the division of 16874255 by 731 
We want to figure out the number of times 16874255 can be divided by 731.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 731

Advancing to step 2:
731 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 731

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 168 by 731, we get 0 and a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 168, we get 168.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 168, then carry on: 1687 / 731

Step 4:
If we divide 1687 by 731, we get 2 and a remainder of 225.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1462 from 1687 leaves us with 225.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 225 and continue: 2254 / 731

Moving on to step 5:
2254 divided by 731 is 3 with a remainder of 61.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 2193 away from 2254, we end up with 61.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 612 / 731

Let's proceed to step 6:
731 can be fit into 612 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 612.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 230.0
The remainder is 612 after subtracting 0 from 612.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 612 and repeat the process: 6125 / 731

Moving on to step 7:
The number 731 fits into 6125 8 times, leaving a remainder of 277.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2308.0
If we take 5848 away from 6125, we end up with 277.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 277 and continue with: 2775 / 731

On to step 8:
731 goes into 2775 3 times with a remainder of 582.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23083.0
The remainder is 582 after subtracting 2193 from 2775.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 5820 by 731, we get 7 with a remainder of 703.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23083.7
If we subtract 5117 from 5820, we get 703.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7030, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 7030 by 731, we get 9 and a remainder of 451.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23083.79
Deduct 6579 from 7030 and we're left with 451.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4510, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 731 fits into 4510 6 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23083.796
Deduct 4386 from 4510 and we're left with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
731 goes into 1240 1 times with a remainder of 509.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23083.7961
If we subtract 731 from 1240, we get 509.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5090, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
731 goes into 5090 6 times with a remainder of 704.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23083.79616
The remainder is 704 after subtracting 4386 from 5090.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7040, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 7040 by 731, we get 9 with a remainder of 461.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23083.796169
If we subtract 6579 from 7040, we get 461.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4610, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 4610 by 731, we get 6 with a remainder of 224.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23083.7961696
If we take 4386 away from 4610, we end up with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Step 16:
731 can be fit into 2240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23083.79616963
If we take 2193 away from 2240, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 23083.79616963 with a balance of 4.7e-08.
