Let's divide 688408 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 688408.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 68 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 68, we get 68.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 688 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 can be fit into 688 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 666 from 688 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 224 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 93.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 222 from 224.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 74

On to step 5:
74 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 930.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 74

Step 6:
208 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9302.0
If we take 148 away from 208, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
600 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9302.8
If we subtract 592 from 600, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9302.81
If we take 74 away from 80, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9302.81
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9302.8108
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9302.81081
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
74 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9302.81081
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9302.8108108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9302.81081081
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 final result is 9302.81081081 with a remainder of 6e-09.
