We're dividing 842487 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 842487.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 74 away from 84, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 can be fit into 102 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 74 away from 102, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 284 3 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 222 from 284.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 628 / 74

On to step 5:
628 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1138.0
If we subtract 592 from 628, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 74

Step 6:
367 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 71.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11384.0
If we subtract 296 from 367, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 can be fit into 710 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11384.9
Subtract 666 from 710 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 8:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11384.95
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.

On to step 9:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11384.959
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11384.9594
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 11:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11384.95945
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11384.959459
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11384.9594594
Deduct 296 from 340 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11384.95945945
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.

The final result is 11384.95945945 with a remainder of 7e-08.
