We divide 74273 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 74273 can be divided by 79.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 742 / 79

Step 3:
The number 79 fits into 742 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 711 from 742, we get 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 317 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 94.0
Deduct 316 from 317 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 79

On to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 940.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
130 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 940.1
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 79 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
510 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 940.16
Subtracting 474 from 510 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 940.164
Deduct 316 from 360 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
79 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 940.1645
Subtracting 395 from 440 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 940.16455
Deduct 395 from 450 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 940.16455, and the remainder is 5.5e-05.
