Let's divide 846479 by 74
Our goal is to divide 846479 by 74.

On to step 1:
74 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 84 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 106 / 74

Step 3:
106 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 74 from 106, we get 32.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 324 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 324 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 114.0
Deduct 296 from 324 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 287 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1143.0
Deduct 222 from 287 and we're left with 65.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 659 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 659 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11438.0
If we subtract 592 from 659, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 670 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11438.9
Subtracting 666 from 670 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11438.9
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11438.905
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 370 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 300 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11438.9054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11438.9054
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11438.905405
Subtracting 370 from 400 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11438.9054054
If we subtract 296 from 300, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
40 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11438.9054054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11438.9054054 with a remaining 4e-08.
