Let's divide 612938 by 74
We want to divide 612938 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
61 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 612 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 goes into 612 8 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 592 from 612, we get 20.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 209 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 209 2 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 148 from 209, we get 61.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 613 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 613 8 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 828.0
Subtract 592 from 613 to get 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 218 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8282.0
Subtract 148 from 218 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8282.9
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.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8282.94
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.

Step 9:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8282.945
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8282.9459
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.

Step 11:
74 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8282.94594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
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 12:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8282.945945
Deduct 370 from 440 and we're left 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 13:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8282.9459459
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.

Moving on to step 14:
74 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8282.94594594
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.

The final result is 8282.94594594 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
