We're dividing 86713941 by 721 
We're looking to find how many times 721 goes into 86713941.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 721 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 721

Going ahead to step 2:
721 can be fit into 86 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 86, we end up with 86.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 867 / 721

Step 3:
When dividing 867 by 721, we get 1 with a remainder of 146.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 721 from 867 leaves us with 146.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 146, then carry on: 1461 / 721

Step 4:
1461 divided by 721 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 1442 from 1461, we get 19.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 193 / 721

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 193 by 721, we get 0 and a remainder of 193.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we subtract 0 from 193, we get 193.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 193 and repeat the process: 1939 / 721

Step 6:
721 goes into 1939 2 times with a remainder of 497.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1202.0
If we subtract 1442 from 1939, we get 497.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 497, then repeat: 4974 / 721

Moving on to step 7:
4974 divided by 721 is 6 with a remainder of 648.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12026.0
Deduct 4326 from 4974 and we're left with 648.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 648, then carry on: 6481 / 721

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 6481 by 721, we get 8 with a remainder of 713.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120268.0
Subtracting 5768 from 6481 leaves us with 713.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
721 goes into 7130 9 times with a remainder of 641.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 120268.9
If we take 6489 away from 7130, we end up with 641.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 721 fits into 6410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 642.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120268.98
Subtract 5768 from 6410 to get 642.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
721 can be fit into 6420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 652.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120268.988
Subtract 5768 from 6420 to get 652.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 120268.988 with a balance of 0.0652.
