72474975 ÷ 731 
We want to divide 72474975 by 731.

Advancing to step 1:
731 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 731

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 724 / 731

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 731 fits into 724 0 times, leaving a remainder of 724.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 724 after subtracting 0 from 724.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 724 and repeat the process: 7247 / 731

Step 4:
731 can be fit into 7247 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 668.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 6579 from 7247 leaves us with 668.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 668, then carry on: 6684 / 731

On to step 5:
731 can be fit into 6684 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 105.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we subtract 6579 from 6684, we get 105.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 105 and continue: 1059 / 731

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1059 by 731, we get 1 and a remainder of 328.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 991.0
Subtract 731 from 1059 to get 328.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 328, then repeat: 3287 / 731

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 731 fits into 3287 4 times, leaving a remainder of 363.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9914.0
Deduct 2924 from 3287 and we're left with 363.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 363 and repeat the process: 3635 / 731

Advancing to step 8:
731 can be fit into 3635 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 711.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 99144.0
If we subtract 2924 from 3635, we get 711.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 7110 by 731, we get 9 with a remainder of 531.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99144.9
If we take 6579 away from 7110, we end up with 531.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
731 goes into 5310 7 times with a remainder of 193.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99144.97
Deduct 5117 from 5310 and we're left with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1930 by 731, we get 2 with a remainder of 468.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99144.972
If we subtract 1462 from 1930, we get 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
4680 divided by 731 is 6 with a remainder of 294.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99144.9726
If we take 4386 away from 4680, we end up with 294.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2940, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 2940 by 731, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99144.97264
Subtracting 2924 from 2940 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 731 fits into 160 0 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99144.97264
If we take 0 away from 160, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 1600 by 731, we get 2 with a remainder of 138.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99144.9726402
If we subtract 1462 from 1600, we get 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 1380 by 731, we get 1 with a remainder of 649.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99144.97264021
Deduct 731 from 1380 and we're left with 649.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6490, and continue the process.

The final result is 99144.97264021 with a remainder of 6.49e-07.
