Let's divide 726136 by 74
Our goal is to divide 726136 by 74.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 726 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 726 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 60.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 666 from 726 leaves us with 60.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 601 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 601 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 592 from 601, we get 9.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 93 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 93 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 981.0
If we subtract 74 from 93, we get 19.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 196 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 196 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9812.0
Subtract 148 from 196 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9812.6
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9812.64
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9812.648
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9812.6486
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 444 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9812.64864
Subtract 296 from 360 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9812.648648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9812.6486486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9812.64864864
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9812.64864864 with a remaining 6.4e-08.
