We're dividing 536617 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 536617 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 536 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 536 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 518 from 536, we get 18.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 186 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 186 2 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we subtract 148 from 186, we get 38.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 381 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 381 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 725.0
Subtracting 370 from 381 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 74

On to step 6:
74 goes into 117 1 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7251.0
Subtract 74 from 117 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7251.5
Subtracting 370 from 430 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7251.58
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
80 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7251.581
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
60 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7251.581
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
600 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7251.58108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
80 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7251.581081
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7251.581081
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
600 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7251.58108108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7251.58108108 with a remaining 8e-09.
