We're dividing 538569 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 538569.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 53, we get 53.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 538 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
538 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 518 from 538, we get 20.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 205 / 74

Step 4:
If we divide 205 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 57.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 148 away from 205, we end up with 57.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 576 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 can be fit into 576 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 727.0
If we take 518 away from 576, we end up with 58.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 589 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 589 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7277.0
Subtract 518 from 589 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
710 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7277.9
Deduct 666 from 710 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 8:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7277.95
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.

On to step 9:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7277.959
Deduct 666 from 700 and we're left with 34.
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:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7277.9594
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7277.95945
Subtract 370 from 440 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7277.959459
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

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: 7277.9594594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7277.95945945
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.

Our division results in 7277.95945945 with a remaining 7e-08.
