We look at the division of 726258 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 726258 can be divided by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 726 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
726 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 60.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 666 away from 726, we end up with 60.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 602 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 602 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we take 592 away from 602, we end up with 10.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 105 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 105 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 981.0
If we subtract 74 from 105, we get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 318 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9814.0
If we subtract 296 from 318, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9814.2
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9814.29
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9814.297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9814.2972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9814.29729
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 666 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
540 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9814.297297
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9814.2972972
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9814.29729729
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9814.29729729 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
