We divide 731487 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 731487 can be divided by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 73.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 73 to get 73.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 731 / 74

Step 3:
When dividing 731 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 666 away from 731, we end up with 65.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 654 / 74

On to step 4:
When dividing 654 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
Deduct 592 from 654 and we're left with 62.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 628 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
628 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 988.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 592 from 628.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 367 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 71.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9884.0
Subtract 296 from 367 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 710 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 44.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9884.9
Deduct 666 from 710 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9884.95
Subtract 370 from 440 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9884.959
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9884.9594
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9884.95945
Subtract 370 from 440 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9884.959459
If we take 666 away from 700, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9884.9594594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9884.95945945
Subtract 370 from 440 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9884.95945945, and the remainder is 7e-08.
