401464 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 401464 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
40 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 401 / 74

Step 3:
401 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 370 from 401 to get 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 314 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 296 from 314.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 186 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 186 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 542.0
If we take 148 away from 186, we end up with 38.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 384 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
384 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5425.0
If we take 370 away from 384, 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.

Step 7:
140 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5425.1
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 8:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5425.18
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5425.189
If we take 666 away from 680, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5425.1891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5425.18918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we 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.

Step 12:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5425.189189
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.

Advancing to step 13:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5425.1891891
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5425.18918918
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.

After the division, we end up with 5425.18918918 and a remainder of 6.8e-08.
