We look at the division of 724761 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 724761.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 724 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 724 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 666 from 724 to get 58.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 587 / 74

On to step 4:
If we divide 587 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 69.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtract 518 from 587 to get 69.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 696 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 can be fit into 696 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 979.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 666 from 696.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 74

Step 6:
If we divide 301 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9794.0
Subtract 296 from 301 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9794.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9794.06
If we subtract 444 from 500, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9794.067
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9794.0675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9794.06756
If we subtract 444 from 500, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9794.067567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9794.0675675
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9794.06756756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9794.06756756 with a remaining 5.6e-08.
