We look at the division of 26978467 by 724 
Let's see how many times 724 fits into 26978467.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 724 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 724

Step 2:
26 divided by 724 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 724

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 269 by 724, we get 0 with a remainder of 269.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 269 and we're left with 269.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 269 and continue: 2697 / 724

Advancing to step 4:
The number 724 fits into 2697 3 times, leaving a remainder of 525.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2172 from 2697 and we're left with 525.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 525, then repeat: 5258 / 724

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 724 fits into 5258 7 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtracting 5068 from 5258 leaves us with 190.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 190, then repeat: 1904 / 724

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 724 fits into 1904 2 times, leaving a remainder of 456.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 372.0
If we take 1448 away from 1904, we end up with 456.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 456 and repeat the process: 4566 / 724

Step 7:
724 goes into 4566 6 times with a remainder of 222.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3726.0
If we subtract 4344 from 4566, we get 222.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 222, then repeat: 2227 / 724

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 2227 by 724, we get 3 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 37263.0
If we subtract 2172 from 2227, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
724 goes into 550 0 times with a remainder of 550.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37263.0
If we subtract 0 from 550, we get 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 5500 by 724, we get 7 and a remainder of 432.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37263.07
Deduct 5068 from 5500 and we're left with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 4320 by 724, we get 5 with a remainder of 700.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37263.075
Deduct 3620 from 4320 and we're left with 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7000, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 7000 by 724, we get 9 and a remainder of 484.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37263.0759
If we take 6516 away from 7000, we end up with 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 4840 by 724, we get 6 with a remainder of 496.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 37263.07596
If we take 4344 away from 4840, we end up with 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
724 goes into 4960 6 times with a remainder of 616.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37263.075966
The remainder is 616 after subtracting 4344 from 4960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 37263.075966 and a remainder of 6.16e-05.
