Let's divide 6398 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 6398 can be divided by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 63 0 times with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 63 leaves us with 63.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 639 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 639 8 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 592 from 639, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 478 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtracting 444 from 478 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 86.4
Deduct 296 from 340 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86.45
If we take 370 away from 440, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 7:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 86.459
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86.4594
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 86.45945
Subtracting 370 from 440 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86.459459
If we take 666 away from 700, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 86.4594594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86.45945945
If we take 370 away from 440, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 86.45945945 and a remainder of 7e-08.
