Let's divide 487438 by 74
Our goal is to divide 487438 by 74.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 74

On to step 2:
74 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 74

On to step 3:
74 can be fit into 487 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 444 from 487, we get 43.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 434 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 434 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 370 away from 434, we end up with 64.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 643 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 643 8 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 658.0
Subtract 592 from 643 to get 51.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 518 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 518 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6587.0
Subtract 518 from 518 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6587.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6587.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 6587.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
