Let's divide 731771 by 423
We want to divide 731771 by 423.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 423 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 423

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 73 by 423, we get 0 and a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 73 leaves us with 73.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 731 / 423

Going ahead to step 3:
423 can be fit into 731 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 308.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 423 away from 731, we end up with 308.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 308, then repeat: 3087 / 423

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 3087 by 423, we get 7 with a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 2961 from 3087.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 126, then repeat: 1267 / 423

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1267 by 423, we get 2 with a remainder of 421.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172.0
Deduct 846 from 1267 and we're left with 421.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 421, then carry on: 4211 / 423

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 4211 by 423, we get 9 and a remainder of 404.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1729.0
If we take 3807 away from 4211, we end up with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
423 can be fit into 4040 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 233.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1729.9
If we subtract 3807 from 4040, we get 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 2330 by 423, we get 5 with a remainder of 215.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1729.95
Subtract 2115 from 2330 to get 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
423 goes into 2150 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1729.955
Subtract 2115 from 2150 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1729.955 and a remainder of 0.0035.
