We look at the division of 388471 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 388471.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 74

On to step 2:
38 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 388 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 388 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 370 away from 388, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 184 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 148 from 184, we get 36.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 367 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 367 4 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 524.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 296 from 367.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 711 / 74

Step 6:
711 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5249.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 666 from 711.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5249.6
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 444 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5249.6
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
600 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5249.608
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 592 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5249.6081
If we subtract 74 from 80, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
60 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5249.6081
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5249.608108
Subtracting 592 from 600 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
80 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5249.6081081
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5249.6081081
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 5249.6081081 with a remainder of 6e-08.
