We look at the division of 12698774 by 731 
We want to divide 12698774 by 731.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 731

On to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 731

Step 3:
731 goes into 126 0 times with a remainder of 126.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 126 leaves us with 126.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 126, then repeat: 1269 / 731

Going ahead to step 4:
1269 divided by 731 is 1 with a remainder of 538.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 731 from 1269, we get 538.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 538 and continue with: 5388 / 731

Let's proceed to step 5:
731 goes into 5388 7 times with a remainder of 271.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 5117 away from 5388, we end up with 271.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 271 and repeat the process: 2717 / 731

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 2717 by 731, we get 3 with a remainder of 524.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 173.0
The remainder is 524 after subtracting 2193 from 2717.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 524 and repeat the process: 5247 / 731

Advancing to step 7:
The number 731 fits into 5247 7 times, leaving a remainder of 130.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1737.0
The remainder is 130 after subtracting 5117 from 5247.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 130 and continue: 1304 / 731

Advancing to step 8:
1304 divided by 731 is 1 with a remainder of 573.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17371.0
Subtracting 731 from 1304 leaves us with 573.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
5730 divided by 731 is 7 with a remainder of 613.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17371.7
Deduct 5117 from 5730 and we're left with 613.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6130, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
731 can be fit into 6130 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 282.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17371.78
If we take 5848 away from 6130, we end up with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 731 fits into 2820 3 times, leaving a remainder of 627.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17371.783
Subtracting 2193 from 2820 leaves us with 627.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6270, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 6270 by 731, we get 8 with a remainder of 422.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17371.7838
Subtracting 5848 from 6270 leaves us with 422.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 4220 by 731, we get 5 with a remainder of 565.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17371.78385
Deduct 3655 from 4220 and we're left with 565.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5650, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 5650 by 731, we get 7 with a remainder of 533.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17371.783857
If we subtract 5117 from 5650, we get 533.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5330, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
5330 divided by 731 is 7 with a remainder of 213.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17371.7838577
If we subtract 5117 from 5330, we get 213.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17371.7838577 with a remaining 2.13e-06.
