Let's divide 51728579 by 742
We want to figure out the number of times 51728579 can be divided by 742.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 742 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 742

Moving on to step 2:
The number 742 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 517 / 742

On to step 3:
If we divide 517 by 742, we get 0 and a remainder of 517.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 517 to get 517.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 517, then repeat: 5172 / 742

On to step 4:
742 can be fit into 5172 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 720.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 4452 from 5172 leaves us with 720.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 720 and continue with: 7208 / 742

On to step 5:
When dividing 7208 by 742, we get 9 with a remainder of 530.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 6678 from 7208 and we're left with 530.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 530, then repeat: 5305 / 742

Going ahead to step 6:
742 goes into 5305 7 times with a remainder of 111.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 697.0
Subtract 5194 from 5305 to get 111.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 111 and continue with: 1117 / 742

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1117 by 742, we get 1 and a remainder of 375.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6971.0
Subtracting 742 from 1117 leaves us with 375.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 375 and repeat the process: 3759 / 742

Advancing to step 8:
The number 742 fits into 3759 5 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69715.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 3710 from 3759.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 9:
742 goes into 490 0 times with a remainder of 490.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69715.0
Subtract 0 from 490 to get 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4900, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 4900 by 742, we get 6 with a remainder of 448.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69715.06
If we take 4452 away from 4900, we end up with 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
4480 divided by 742 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 69715.066
If we take 4452 away from 4480, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 69715.066 with a remaining 0.0028.
