Let's divide 74508998 by 531
Let's see how many times 531 fits into 74508998.

Advancing to step 1:
531 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 531

Advancing to step 2:
74 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 745 / 531

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 745 by 531, we get 1 with a remainder of 214.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 531 from 745 leaves us with 214.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 214, then repeat: 2140 / 531

On to step 4:
The number 531 fits into 2140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 2124 from 2140 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 531

Let's proceed to step 5:
531 can be fit into 168 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140.0
If we subtract 0 from 168, we get 168.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 168 and repeat the process: 1689 / 531

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 531 fits into 1689 3 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1403.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 1593 from 1689.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 96 and continue with: 969 / 531

Step 7:
The number 531 fits into 969 1 times, leaving a remainder of 438.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14031.0
Subtracting 531 from 969 leaves us with 438.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 438, then repeat: 4388 / 531

Let's proceed to step 8:
4388 divided by 531 is 8 with a remainder of 140.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 140318.0
If we subtract 4248 from 4388, we get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
531 can be fit into 1400 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 338.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140318.2
If we take 1062 away from 1400, we end up with 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 3380 by 531, we get 6 and a remainder of 194.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 140318.26
The remainder is 194 after subtracting 3186 from 3380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
1940 divided by 531 is 3 with a remainder of 347.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140318.263
Deduct 1593 from 1940 and we're left with 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 3470 by 531, we get 6 and a remainder of 284.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 140318.2636
The remainder is 284 after subtracting 3186 from 3470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
531 goes into 2840 5 times with a remainder of 185.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140318.26365
If we subtract 2655 from 2840, we get 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1850 divided by 531 is 3 with a remainder of 257.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 140318.263653
Deduct 1593 from 1850 and we're left with 257.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2570, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 2570 by 531, we get 4 with a remainder of 446.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 140318.2636534
Subtract 2124 from 2570 to get 446.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4460, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 531 fits into 4460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 212.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140318.26365348
Subtract 4248 from 4460 to get 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

The final result is 140318.26365348 with a remainder of 2.12e-07.
