We look at the division of 12497044 by 744 
We're looking to find how many times 744 goes into 12497044.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 744, we get 0 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 / 744

Going ahead to step 2:
744 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 744

Going ahead to step 3:
744 can be fit into 124 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 124.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 124 and we're left with 124.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 124 and repeat the process: 1249 / 744

On to step 4:
When dividing 1249 by 744, we get 1 with a remainder of 505.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 744 away from 1249, we end up with 505.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 505, then repeat: 5057 / 744

Step 5:
744 can be fit into 5057 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 593.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 4464 from 5057, we get 593.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 593, then repeat: 5930 / 744

On to step 6:
5930 divided by 744 is 7 with a remainder of 722.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 167.0
The remainder is 722 after subtracting 5208 from 5930.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 722, then repeat: 7224 / 744

Step 7:
7224 divided by 744 is 9 with a remainder of 528.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1679.0
Subtracting 6696 from 7224 leaves us with 528.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 528 and continue with: 5284 / 744

Step 8:
744 can be fit into 5284 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16797.0
If we take 5208 away from 5284, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 760 by 744, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16797.1
Subtracting 744 from 760 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
744 can be fit into 160 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16797.1
If we take 0 away from 160, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 744 fits into 1600 2 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16797.102
Subtract 1488 from 1600 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 1120 by 744, we get 1 and a remainder of 376.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16797.1021
Subtract 744 from 1120 to get 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
744 goes into 3760 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16797.10215
Subtract 3720 from 3760 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 744, we get 0 with a remainder of 400.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16797.10215
The remainder is 400 after subtracting 0 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 744 fits into 4000 5 times, leaving a remainder of 280.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16797.1021505
Subtract 3720 from 4000 to get 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
2800 divided by 744 is 3 with a remainder of 568.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16797.10215053
If we subtract 2232 from 2800, we get 568.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16797.10215053 with a balance of 5.68e-07.
