We're dividing 422846 by 74 
We want to divide 422846 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 422 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 422 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 370 from 422.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 528 / 74

On to step 4:
If we divide 528 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
Deduct 518 from 528 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 104 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 571.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 74 from 104.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 306 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 306 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5714.0
Subtract 296 from 306 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5714.1
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5714.13
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5714.135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5714.1351
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5714.13513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5714.135135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5714.1351351
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5714.13513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5714.13513513 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
