Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 505 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
505 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 61.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer.

Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 683.0
Subtract 222 from 225 to get 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6830.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 370 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6830.5
If we subtract 370 from 370, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6830.5
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6830.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6830.5 with a balance of 0.0.
