Let's divide 74291 by 61
Our goal is to divide 74291 by 61.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 61

On to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 61 from 74 to get 13.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 132 / 61

Step 3:
The number 61 fits into 132 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 122 from 132, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 61

On to step 4:
109 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 61 from 109 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 481 / 61

Step 5:
If we divide 481 by 61, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1217.0
If we subtract 427 from 481, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
61 goes into 540 8 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1217.8
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 488 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 520 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1217.88
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 488 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1217.88 with a remaining 0.032.
