Let's divide 729858 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 729858 can be divided by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 729 9 times with a remainder of 63.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 666 from 729, we get 63.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 638 / 74

Step 4:
638 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98.0
Deduct 592 from 638 and we're left with 46.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 465 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 465 6 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 986.0
Subtracting 444 from 465 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 218 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9862.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 148 from 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9862.9
Subtract 666 from 700 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9862.94
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9862.945
If we subtract 370 from 440, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9862.9459
Subtract 666 from 700 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9862.94594
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9862.945945
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 370 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9862.9459459
Subtract 666 from 700 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9862.94594594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 9862.94594594 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
