Let's divide 689989 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 689989.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 74

Step 2:
The number 74 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 68, we end up with 68.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 689 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
689 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 666 from 689, we get 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 239 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 93.0
Subtracting 222 from 239 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 goes into 178 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 932.0
If we take 148 away from 178, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 309 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 309 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9324.0
Deduct 296 from 309 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9324.1
Subtracting 74 from 130 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 560 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9324.17
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9324.175
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9324.1756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9324.17567
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 518 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9324.175675
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 370 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9324.1756756
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 74 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9324.17567567
Subtract 518 from 560 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9324.17567567, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
