Let's divide 742472 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 742472.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 74, 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 74, we get 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 24 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 100.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 247 3 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1003.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 222 from 247.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 252 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10033.0
Subtracting 222 from 252 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10033.4
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10033.4
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10033.405
If we subtract 370 from 400, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10033.4054
Subtracting 296 from 300 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10033.4054
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 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 12:
If we divide 400 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10033.405405
Subtract 370 from 400 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10033.4054054
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10033.4054054
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10033.4054054, and the remainder is 4e-08.
