We're dividing 724987 by 15 
We want to divide 724987 by 15.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 15 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 15

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 15, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 60 from 72 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 124 / 15

Moving on to step 3:
124 divided by 15 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 120 away from 124, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 15

Step 4:
The number 15 fits into 49 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 483.0
Subtracting 45 from 49 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 15

Going ahead to step 5:
48 divided by 15 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4833.0
Subtract 45 from 48 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 15

Advancing to step 6:
15 goes into 37 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48332.0
Deduct 30 from 37 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
70 divided by 15 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48332.4
Deduct 60 from 70 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
15 can be fit into 100 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48332.46
Deduct 90 from 100 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
15 can be fit into 100 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48332.466
Subtracting 90 from 100 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 48332.466 and a remainder of 0.001.
