We look at the division of 72741 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 72741.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 72, we get 26.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 267 / 46

On to step 3:
When dividing 267 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 230 from 267 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 374 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 374 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtracting 368 from 374 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
61 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1581.0
Subtracting 46 from 61 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 150 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1581.3
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1581.32
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1581.326
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1581.326
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1581.32608
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
46 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1581.326086
Subtracting 276 from 320 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.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1581.3260869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1581.32608695
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1581.32608695, with a leftover of 3e-08.
