989498 divided by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 989498 can be divided by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 98, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 249 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 249 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 222 from 249.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 274 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
274 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 133.0
If we take 222 away from 274, we end up with 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 529 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 529 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1337.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 518 from 529.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 74

On to step 6:
When dividing 118 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13371.0
If we subtract 74 from 118, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
440 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13371.5
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13371.59
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 9:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13371.594
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13371.5945
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13371.59459
If we take 666 away from 700, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13371.594594
Subtract 296 from 340 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13371.5945945
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13371.59459459
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.

Our division results in 13371.59459459 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
