We divide 30874538 by 729
We want to figure out the number of times 30874538 can be divided by 729.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 729, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 729

Moving on to step 2:
The number 729 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 729

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 308 by 729, we get 0 with a remainder of 308.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 308 after subtracting 0 from 308.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 308 and continue with: 3087 / 729

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 3087 by 729, we get 4 and a remainder of 171.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 2916 from 3087, we get 171.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 171, then repeat: 1714 / 729

Going ahead to step 5:
1714 divided by 729 is 2 with a remainder of 256.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 1458 from 1714, we get 256.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 256, then carry on: 2565 / 729

Step 6:
The number 729 fits into 2565 3 times, leaving a remainder of 378.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 423.0
Subtracting 2187 from 2565 leaves us with 378.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 378, then carry on: 3783 / 729

Going ahead to step 7:
729 goes into 3783 5 times with a remainder of 138.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4235.0
The remainder is 138 after subtracting 3645 from 3783.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 138 and repeat the process: 1388 / 729

On to step 8:
If we divide 1388 by 729, we get 1 and a remainder of 659.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42351.0
Subtracting 729 from 1388 leaves us with 659.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6590, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 6590 by 729, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42351.9
If we take 6561 away from 6590, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
729 can be fit into 290 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 290.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42351.9
Subtracting 0 from 290 leaves us with 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 2900 by 729, we get 3 and a remainder of 713.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42351.903
Subtracting 2187 from 2900 leaves us with 713.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7130, and continue the process.

Step 12:
729 can be fit into 7130 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 569.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42351.9039
Subtract 6561 from 7130 to get 569.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 729 fits into 5690 7 times, leaving a remainder of 587.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42351.90397
If we subtract 5103 from 5690, we get 587.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 729 fits into 5870 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42351.903978
Subtracting 5832 from 5870 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 380 by 729, we get 0 and a remainder of 380.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42351.903978
The remainder is 380 after subtracting 0 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 729 fits into 3800 5 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42351.90397805
If we take 3645 away from 3800, we end up with 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 42351.90397805, and the remainder is 1.55e-07.
