Let's divide 661374 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 661374 can be divided by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 goes into 66 0 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 66, we get 66.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 661 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 661 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 69.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 592 from 661 leaves us with 69.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 693 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 693 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 666 from 693 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
277 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 893.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 222 from 277.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 554 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8937.0
If we subtract 518 from 554, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8937.4
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8937.48
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8937.486
Subtract 444 from 480 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8937.4864
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8937.48648
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8937.486486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8937.4864864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8937.48648648
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8937.48648648 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
