We're dividing 554638 by 74 
We want to divide 554638 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 554 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 518 away from 554, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 366 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 366 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 70.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 296 from 366.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 703 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 703 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 749.0
Subtract 666 from 703 to get 37.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 378 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 378 5 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7495.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 370 from 378.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7495.1
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 60 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7495.1
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7495.108
If we subtract 592 from 600, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7495.1081
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
60 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7495.1081
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7495.108108
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7495.1081081
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
60 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7495.1081081
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7495.1081081, with a leftover of 6e-08.
