We divide 1286229 by 740
We're looking to find how many times 740 goes into 1286229.

Let's proceed to step 1:
740 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 740

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 740, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 740

On to step 3:
If we divide 128 by 740, we get 0 and a remainder of 128.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 128 and we're left with 128.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 128, then carry on: 1286 / 740

Advancing to step 4:
740 can be fit into 1286 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 546.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 740 away from 1286, we end up with 546.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 546 and continue: 5462 / 740

On to step 5:
5462 divided by 740 is 7 with a remainder of 282.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 282 after subtracting 5180 from 5462.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 282, then carry on: 2822 / 740

Step 6:
If we divide 2822 by 740, we get 3 and a remainder of 602.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
If we subtract 2220 from 2822, we get 602.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 602 and continue with: 6029 / 740

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 6029 by 740, we get 8 and a remainder of 109.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1738.0
Subtract 5920 from 6029 to get 109.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
740 goes into 1090 1 times with a remainder of 350.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1738.1
Deduct 740 from 1090 and we're left with 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 3500 by 740, we get 4 with a remainder of 540.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1738.14
Deduct 2960 from 3500 and we're left with 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
5400 divided by 740 is 7 with a remainder of 220.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1738.147
If we take 5180 away from 5400, we end up with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 2200 by 740, we get 2 and a remainder of 720.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1738.1472
Deduct 1480 from 2200 and we're left with 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
740 can be fit into 7200 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 540.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1738.14729
The remainder is 540 after subtracting 6660 from 7200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
740 can be fit into 5400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 220.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1738.147297
Deduct 5180 from 5400 and we're left with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 2200 by 740, we get 2 and a remainder of 720.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1738.1472972
Subtract 1480 from 2200 to get 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
740 goes into 7200 9 times with a remainder of 540.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1738.14729729
If we take 6660 away from 7200, we end up with 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

The final result is 1738.14729729 with a remainder of 5.4e-07.
