Let's divide 5940487 by 721
We're looking to find how many times 721 goes into 5940487.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 721 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 721

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 59 by 721, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 59, we get 59.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 594 / 721

Let's proceed to step 3:
594 divided by 721 is 0 with a remainder of 594.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 594 leaves us with 594.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 594, then repeat: 5940 / 721

Moving on to step 4:
721 can be fit into 5940 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 172.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 5768 away from 5940, we end up with 172.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 172, then repeat: 1724 / 721

Step 5:
When dividing 1724 by 721, we get 2 with a remainder of 282.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we take 1442 away from 1724, we end up with 282.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 282, then carry on: 2828 / 721

On to step 6:
721 can be fit into 2828 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 665.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 823.0
Subtracting 2163 from 2828 leaves us with 665.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 665 and continue with: 6657 / 721

Let's proceed to step 7:
6657 divided by 721 is 9 with a remainder of 168.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8239.0
Subtracting 6489 from 6657 leaves us with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 721 fits into 1680 2 times, leaving a remainder of 238.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8239.2
Subtract 1442 from 1680 to get 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
721 goes into 2380 3 times with a remainder of 217.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8239.23
The remainder is 217 after subtracting 2163 from 2380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
721 goes into 2170 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8239.233
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 2163 from 2170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8239.233, with a leftover of 0.0007.
