We divide 74479904 by 500
We're looking to find how many times 500 goes into 74479904.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 500, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 500

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 500, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 744 / 500

On to step 3:
500 can be fit into 744 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 244.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 500 from 744, we get 244.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 244, then repeat: 2447 / 500

On to step 4:
500 can be fit into 2447 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 447.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 2000 from 2447 leaves us with 447.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 447 and continue: 4479 / 500

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 4479 by 500, we get 8 and a remainder of 479.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we take 4000 away from 4479, we end up with 479.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 479 and continue with: 4799 / 500

Step 6:
500 can be fit into 4799 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 299.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1489.0
The remainder is 299 after subtracting 4500 from 4799.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 299, then carry on: 2990 / 500

Moving on to step 7:
The number 500 fits into 2990 5 times, leaving a remainder of 490.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14895.0
The remainder is 490 after subtracting 2500 from 2990.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 490 and continue with: 4904 / 500

On to step 8:
When dividing 4904 by 500, we get 9 with a remainder of 404.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148959.0
Subtract 4500 from 4904 to get 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Step 9:
500 goes into 4040 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148959.8
Subtract 4000 from 4040 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 500, we get 0 and a remainder of 400.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148959.8
If we subtract 0 from 400, we get 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 4000 by 500, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148959.808
Deduct 4000 from 4000 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 0 by 500, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 148959.808
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
0 divided by 500 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148959.808
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 148959.808 and a remainder of 0.0.
