We're dividing 12388043 by 744 
Let's see how many times 744 fits into 12388043.

Moving on to step 1:
744 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 744

Step 2:
The number 744 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 744

Let's proceed to step 3:
123 divided by 744 is 0 with a remainder of 123.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 123 leaves us with 123.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 123 and continue with: 1238 / 744

On to step 4:
1238 divided by 744 is 1 with a remainder of 494.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 744 from 1238 to get 494.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 494 and continue: 4948 / 744

Advancing to step 5:
744 goes into 4948 6 times with a remainder of 484.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 4464 from 4948 leaves us with 484.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 484 and repeat the process: 4840 / 744

Step 6:
When dividing 4840 by 744, we get 6 with a remainder of 376.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
If we subtract 4464 from 4840, we get 376.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 376, then repeat: 3764 / 744

Moving on to step 7:
The number 744 fits into 3764 5 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1665.0
If we take 3720 away from 3764, we end up with 44.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 443 / 744

Let's proceed to step 8:
744 can be fit into 443 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 443.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16650.0
If we take 0 away from 443, we end up with 443.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 744 fits into 4430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 710.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16650.5
If we take 3720 away from 4430, we end up with 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
7100 divided by 744 is 9 with a remainder of 404.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16650.59
If we subtract 6696 from 7100, we get 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Step 11:
4040 divided by 744 is 5 with a remainder of 320.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16650.595
The remainder is 320 after subtracting 3720 from 4040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 3200 by 744, we get 4 and a remainder of 224.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16650.5954
Deduct 2976 from 3200 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 2240 by 744, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16650.59543
If we subtract 2232 from 2240, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 744, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16650.59543
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
800 divided by 744 is 1 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16650.5954301
Deduct 744 from 800 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 744 fits into 560 0 times, leaving a remainder of 560.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16650.5954301
The remainder is 560 after subtracting 0 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5600, and continue the process.

The final result is 16650.5954301 with a remainder of 5.6e-07.
