Let's divide 6473872 by 724
We want to figure out the number of times 6473872 can be divided by 724.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 724, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 724

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 724 fits into 64 0 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 64 to get 64.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 647 / 724

On to step 3:
The number 724 fits into 647 0 times, leaving a remainder of 647.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 647 and we're left with 647.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 647 and continue: 6473 / 724

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 6473 by 724, we get 8 and a remainder of 681.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 5792 from 6473 to get 681.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 681, then carry on: 6818 / 724

Let's proceed to step 5:
6818 divided by 724 is 9 with a remainder of 302.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 302 after subtracting 6516 from 6818.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 302, then carry on: 3027 / 724

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 724 fits into 3027 4 times, leaving a remainder of 131.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 894.0
If we take 2896 away from 3027, we end up with 131.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 131, then repeat: 1312 / 724

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1312 by 724, we get 1 and a remainder of 588.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8941.0
Deduct 724 from 1312 and we're left with 588.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 5880 by 724, we get 8 and a remainder of 88.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8941.8
If we take 5792 away from 5880, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 724 fits into 880 1 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8941.81
If we take 724 away from 880, we end up with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
724 goes into 1560 2 times with a remainder of 112.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8941.812
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 1448 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 1120 by 724, we get 1 and a remainder of 396.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8941.8121
The remainder is 396 after subtracting 724 from 1120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 724 fits into 3960 5 times, leaving a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8941.81215
The remainder is 340 after subtracting 3620 from 3960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 3400 by 724, we get 4 with a remainder of 504.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8941.812154
If we take 2896 away from 3400, we end up with 504.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 5040 by 724, we get 6 with a remainder of 696.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8941.8121546
Deduct 4344 from 5040 and we're left with 696.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
724 goes into 6960 9 times with a remainder of 444.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8941.81215469
Subtracting 6516 from 6960 leaves us with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8941.81215469, with a leftover of 4.44e-07.
