Let's divide 724997 by 73
Our goal is to divide 724997 by 73.

On to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
73 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 724 / 73

Step 3:
724 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 657 from 724.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 679 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
73 can be fit into 679 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 657 away from 679, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
73 goes into 229 3 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 993.0
Deduct 219 from 229 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 107 / 73

On to step 6:
107 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9931.0
Subtract 73 from 107 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9931.4
Subtracting 292 from 340 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9931.46
Subtracting 438 from 480 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9931.465
Subtracting 365 from 420 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 73 fits into 550 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9931.4657
Subtracting 511 from 550 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 390 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9931.46575
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 365 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
73 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9931.465753
Deduct 219 from 250 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 310 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9931.4657534
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 292 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9931.46575342
Deduct 146 from 180 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9931.46575342 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
