We divide 74262 by 4
Our goal is to divide 74262 by 4.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 7 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 4 fits into 34 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 32 away from 34, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 22 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we subtract 20 from 22, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 26 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1856.0
Deduct 24 from 26 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 4

Step 5:
When dividing 22 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18565.0
If we take 20 away from 22, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 20 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18565.5
If we take 20 away from 20, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18565.5
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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18565.5
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

Our division results in 18565.5 with a remaining 0.0.
