We're dividing 8991712 by 727 
We want to divide 8991712 by 727.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 727, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 727

Step 2:
The number 727 fits into 89 0 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 89 and we're left with 89.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 89 and continue: 899 / 727

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 899 by 727, we get 1 with a remainder of 172.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 727 from 899 and we're left with 172.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 172, then repeat: 1721 / 727

On to step 4:
727 can be fit into 1721 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 267.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 1454 from 1721 and we're left with 267.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 267 and continue with: 2677 / 727

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2677 by 727, we get 3 and a remainder of 496.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123.0
Deduct 2181 from 2677 and we're left with 496.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 496, then repeat: 4961 / 727

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 4961 by 727, we get 6 and a remainder of 599.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1236.0
If we take 4362 away from 4961, we end up with 599.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 599, then carry on: 5992 / 727

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 5992 by 727, we get 8 and a remainder of 176.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12368.0
If we take 5816 away from 5992, we end up with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
1760 divided by 727 is 2 with a remainder of 306.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12368.2
If we take 1454 away from 1760, we end up with 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 727 fits into 3060 4 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12368.24
Subtract 2908 from 3060 to get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
727 can be fit into 1520 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12368.242
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 1454 from 1520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 727 fits into 660 0 times, leaving a remainder of 660.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12368.242
Subtracting 0 from 660 leaves us with 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
727 goes into 6600 9 times with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12368.24209
Subtracting 6543 from 6600 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 570 by 727, we get 0 and a remainder of 570.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12368.24209
Subtracting 0 from 570 leaves us with 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5700, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 5700 by 727, we get 7 and a remainder of 611.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12368.2420907
Subtracting 5089 from 5700 leaves us with 611.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6110, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
727 can be fit into 6110 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 294.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12368.24209078
Subtracting 5816 from 6110 leaves us with 294.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2940, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12368.24209078 with a remaining 2.94e-07.
