Let's divide 355552 by 74
We want to divide 355552 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 35 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 355 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 355 4 times with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 296 from 355 and we're left with 59.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 595 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
595 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 592 from 595 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 352 / 74

Step 6:
When dividing 352 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4804.0
Subtracting 296 from 352 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4804.7
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4804.75
Subtracting 370 from 420 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4804.756
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 74 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4804.7567
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4804.75675
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4804.756756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4804.7567567
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4804.75675675
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4804.75675675 with a remaining 5e-08.
