Let's divide 553426 by 74
We want to divide 553426 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 553 / 74

On to step 3:
If we divide 553 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 518 away from 553, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 354 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 354 4 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Deduct 296 from 354 and we're left with 58.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 582 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 582 7 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 747.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 518 from 582.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 646 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 646 8 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7478.0
Subtract 592 from 646 to 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.

On to step 7:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7478.7
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 220 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7478.72
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7478.729
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 666 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7478.7297
Subtract 518 from 540 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7478.72972
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7478.729729
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 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 13:
540 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7478.7297297
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7478.72972972
If we subtract 148 from 220, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7478.72972972 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
