We divide 856284 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 856284.

Step 1:
8 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 85 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 74

Step 3:
116 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 74 from 116.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 422 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 370 from 422.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 528 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 528 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1157.0
If we take 518 away from 528, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 104 1 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11571.0
If we take 74 away from 104, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11571.4
Subtracting 296 from 300 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11571.4
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11571.405
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11571.4054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11571.4054
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11571.405405
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11571.4054054
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 296 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11571.4054054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11571.4054054 and a remainder of 4e-08.
