Let's divide 635979 by 74
We want to divide 635979 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 63 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 63.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 63, we end up with 63.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 635 / 74

On to step 3:
If we divide 635 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 592 from 635, we get 43.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 439 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 439 5 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 370 from 439 to get 69.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 697 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 697 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 859.0
If we subtract 666 from 697, we get 31.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 319 / 74

Step 6:
319 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8594.0
If we subtract 296 from 319, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
230 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8594.3
Subtracting 222 from 230 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8594.31
If we subtract 74 from 80, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8594.31
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 600 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8594.3108
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
80 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8594.31081
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8594.31081
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8594.3108108
Subtracting 592 from 600 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
80 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8594.31081081
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8594.31081081, and the remainder is 6e-09.
