Let's divide 512780 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 512780 can be divided by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 512 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 512 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 444 from 512, we get 68.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 687 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 goes into 687 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 666 from 687.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 218 2 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 692.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 148 from 218.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 700 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6929.0
Deduct 666 from 700 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6929.4
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6929.45
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 370 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6929.459
Subtract 666 from 700 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6929.4594
If we take 296 away from 340, we end up 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 11:
74 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6929.45945
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 12:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6929.459459
If we subtract 666 from 700, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6929.4594594
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6929.45945945
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.

Our division results in 6929.45945945 with a remaining 7e-08.
