850471 divided by 74 
We want to divide 850471 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 74

On to step 2:
85 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 74 away from 85, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 110 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 74 from 110 and we're left with 36.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 364 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 364 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 114.0
Deduct 296 from 364 and we're left with 68.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 687 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
687 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1149.0
If we take 666 away from 687, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 211 2 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11492.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 148 from 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 can be fit into 630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11492.8
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 592 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11492.85
If we subtract 370 from 380, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11492.851
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11492.8513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11492.85135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11492.851351
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11492.8513513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11492.85135135
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11492.85135135, with a leftover of 1e-08.
