472862 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 472862 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 472 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
472 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 444 from 472.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 288 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 222 from 288 to get 66.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 666 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 666 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 639.0
If we take 666 away from 666, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6390.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6390.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6390.02
If we subtract 148 from 200, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
520 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6390.027
Subtract 518 from 520 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6390.027
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6390.02702
Deduct 148 from 200 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6390.027027
Subtract 518 from 520 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6390.027027
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6390.02702702
Subtract 148 from 200 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6390.02702702, with a leftover of 5.2e-08.
