Let's divide 720048 by 74
We want to divide 720048 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 720 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 666 from 720 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 540 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us with 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 can be fit into 224 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 973.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 222 from 224.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9730.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9730.3
If we take 222 away from 280, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9730.37
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9730.378
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9730.3783
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9730.37837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9730.378378
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9730.3783783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9730.37837837
Subtract 518 from 580 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9730.37837837 and a remainder of 6.2e-08.
