974462 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 974462 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 97, we get 23.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 234 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 234, we get 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 can be fit into 124 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtracting 74 from 124 leaves us with 50.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 506 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 506 6 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1316.0
If we subtract 444 from 506, we get 62.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 622 / 74

On to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 622 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13168.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 592 from 622.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13168.4
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 296 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13168.4
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13168.405
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13168.4054
Subtracting 296 from 300 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13168.4054
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13168.405405
Subtracting 370 from 400 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13168.4054054
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 296 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13168.4054054
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 13168.4054054 with a remainder of 4e-08.
