We're dividing 729574 by 23 
We want to divide 729574 by 23.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 goes into 72 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 69 from 72, we get 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 23

Step 3:
The number 23 fits into 39 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 23 from 39 to get 16.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 165 / 23

Step 4:
23 can be fit into 165 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 317.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 161 from 165.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 47 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3172.0
Subtracting 46 from 47 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31720.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31720.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31720.6
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31720.608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 31720.6086
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31720.60869
Subtracting 207 from 220 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31720.608695
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31720.6086956
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 goes into 120 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31720.60869565
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 31720.60869565 and a remainder of 5e-09.
