Let's divide 412901 by 74
Our goal is to divide 412901 by 74.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 41, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 412 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
412 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 370 from 412 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 429 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 429 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 370 away from 429, we end up with 59.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 590 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
590 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 72.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 557.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 518 from 590.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 721 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 721 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5579.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 666 from 721.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 550 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5579.7
Subtracting 518 from 550 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5579.74
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5579.743
Subtract 222 from 240 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5579.7432
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 148 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5579.74324
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5579.743243
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5579.7432432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5579.74324324
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5579.74324324 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
