Let's divide 478698 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 478698.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 74

On to step 3:
When dividing 478 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 444 from 478 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 346 4 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we take 296 away from 346, we end up with 50.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 509 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 509 6 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 646.0
Subtract 444 from 509 to get 65.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 658 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 658 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6468.0
Subtract 592 from 658 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 74 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6468.8
Subtract 592 from 660 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 680 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6468.89
Subtract 666 from 680 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6468.891
Deduct 74 from 140 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 660 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6468.8918
If we take 592 away from 660, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6468.89189
If we subtract 666 from 680, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6468.891891
Subtract 74 from 140 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6468.8918918
Deduct 592 from 660 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6468.89189189
Subtracting 666 from 680 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 6468.89189189 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
