We look at the division of 2604099 by 723 
We want to divide 2604099 by 723.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 723, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 723

Step 2:
The number 723 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 723

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 260 by 723, we get 0 with a remainder of 260.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 260, we end up with 260.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 260, then repeat: 2604 / 723

Moving on to step 4:
723 goes into 2604 3 times with a remainder of 435.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 435 after subtracting 2169 from 2604.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 435, then repeat: 4350 / 723

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4350 by 723, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 4338 from 4350 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 723

Step 6:
723 goes into 129 0 times with a remainder of 129.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 360.0
The remainder is 129 after subtracting 0 from 129.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 129, then repeat: 1299 / 723

Advancing to step 7:
1299 divided by 723 is 1 with a remainder of 576.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3601.0
If we take 723 away from 1299, we end up with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 723 fits into 5760 7 times, leaving a remainder of 699.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3601.7
Subtracting 5061 from 5760 leaves us with 699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 6990 by 723, we get 9 with a remainder of 483.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3601.79
Subtracting 6507 from 6990 leaves us with 483.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4830, and continue the process.

Step 10:
723 can be fit into 4830 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 492.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3601.796
If we take 4338 away from 4830, we end up with 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 723 fits into 4920 6 times, leaving a remainder of 582.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3601.7966
If we subtract 4338 from 4920, we get 582.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5820, and continue the process.

The final result is 3601.7966 with a remainder of 0.00582.
