We look at the division of 724487 by 81 
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 724487.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
72 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 724 / 81

Step 3:
The number 81 fits into 724 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 648 from 724 to get 76.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 764 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 764 by 81, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtracting 729 from 764 leaves us with 35.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 358 / 81

On to step 5:
When dividing 358 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 894.0
If we take 324 away from 358, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
81 can be fit into 347 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8944.0
If we subtract 324 from 347, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 81 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8944.2
If we subtract 162 from 230, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 81, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8944.28
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
81 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8944.283
If we subtract 243 from 320, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
770 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8944.2839
If we take 729 away from 770, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
81 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8944.28395
If we take 405 away from 410, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
50 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8944.28395
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
500 divided by 81 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8944.2839506
Subtracting 486 from 500 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
140 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8944.28395061
Deduct 81 from 140 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8944.28395061 and a remainder of 5.9e-08.
