We divide 724042 by 1
Let's see how many times 1 fits into 724042.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 1 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 7 from 7 to get 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 1

Step 2:
2 divided by 1 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Let's proceed to step 3:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 724.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7240.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Going ahead to step 5:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72404.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 1

Going ahead to step 6:
2 divided by 1 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 724042.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 724042.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 724042.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 724042.0 with a remaining 0.0.
