Let's divide 727659 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 727659.

Step 1:
7 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 727 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 727 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 666 from 727 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 616 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 616 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
Subtracting 592 from 616 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 245 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 983.0
Subtract 222 from 245 to get 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 239 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9833.0
Subtract 222 from 239 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9833.2
If we take 148 away from 170, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9833.22
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 9833.22 with a remainder of 0.072.
