Let's divide 500601 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 500601.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 500 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up with 56.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 566 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 566 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 67.0
Subtract 518 from 566 to get 48.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 480 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 676.0
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 361 4 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6764.0
If we take 296 away from 361, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 58.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6764.8
Subtract 592 from 650 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6764.87
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6764.878
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6764.8783
If we take 222 away from 280, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6764.87837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6764.878378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6764.8783783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6764.87837837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6764.87837837 with a remaining 6.2e-08.
