We look at the division of 16720523 by 731 
We're looking to find how many times 731 goes into 16720523.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 731, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 731

Advancing to step 2:
731 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 731

On to step 3:
If we divide 167 by 731, we get 0 and a remainder of 167.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 167 to get 167.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 167, then carry on: 1672 / 731

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1672 by 731, we get 2 and a remainder of 210.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1462 from 1672, we get 210.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 210 and repeat the process: 2100 / 731

Step 5:
731 can be fit into 2100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 638.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 1462 away from 2100, we end up with 638.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 638, then repeat: 6385 / 731

On to step 6:
When dividing 6385 by 731, we get 8 with a remainder of 537.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 228.0
Subtracting 5848 from 6385 leaves us with 537.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 537, then repeat: 5372 / 731

Step 7:
When dividing 5372 by 731, we get 7 with a remainder of 255.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2287.0
If we take 5117 away from 5372, we end up with 255.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 255, then repeat: 2553 / 731

Moving on to step 8:
2553 divided by 731 is 3 with a remainder of 360.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22873.0
Deduct 2193 from 2553 and we're left with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 3600 by 731, we get 4 and a remainder of 676.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22873.4
If we take 2924 away from 3600, we end up with 676.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
731 goes into 6760 9 times with a remainder of 181.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22873.49
Deduct 6579 from 6760 and we're left with 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1810 by 731, we get 2 with a remainder of 348.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22873.492
Subtracting 1462 from 1810 leaves us with 348.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
3480 divided by 731 is 4 with a remainder of 556.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22873.4924
The remainder is 556 after subtracting 2924 from 3480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 731 fits into 5560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 443.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22873.49247
Subtract 5117 from 5560 to get 443.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
731 goes into 4430 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22873.492476
Subtract 4386 from 4430 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 731 fits into 440 0 times, leaving a remainder of 440.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22873.492476
Subtract 0 from 440 to get 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 4400 by 731, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22873.49247606
If we take 4386 away from 4400, 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.

After the division, we end up with 22873.49247606 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
