We're dividing 74694390 by 497 
Let's see how many times 497 fits into 74694390.

On to step 1:
The number 497 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 497

Step 2:
If we divide 74 by 497, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 74 and we're left with 74.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 746 / 497

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 746 by 497, we get 1 with a remainder of 249.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 497 away from 746, we end up with 249.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 249, then carry on: 2499 / 497

On to step 4:
The number 497 fits into 2499 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 2485 from 2499 to get 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 497

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 144 by 497, we get 0 and a remainder of 144.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 150.0
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 0 from 144.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 144 and repeat the process: 1443 / 497

On to step 6:
497 can be fit into 1443 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 449.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1502.0
If we take 994 away from 1443, we end up with 449.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 449, then repeat: 4499 / 497

Going ahead to step 7:
497 goes into 4499 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15029.0
Subtracting 4473 from 4499 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 497

On to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 260.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 150290.0
If we take 0 away from 260, we end up with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2600 by 497, we get 5 with a remainder of 115.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 150290.5
Deduct 2485 from 2600 and we're left with 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 497 fits into 1150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 150290.52
If we take 994 away from 1150, we end up with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 1560 by 497, we get 3 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 150290.523
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 1491 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
690 divided by 497 is 1 with a remainder of 193.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 150290.5231
If we take 497 away from 690, we end up with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1930 by 497, we get 3 with a remainder of 439.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 150290.52313
Subtracting 1491 from 1930 leaves us with 439.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4390, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 4390 by 497, we get 8 with a remainder of 414.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 150290.523138
If we take 3976 away from 4390, we end up with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 4140 by 497, we get 8 and a remainder of 164.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 150290.5231388
If we subtract 3976 from 4140, we get 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 150290.5231388 with a remaining 1.64e-06.
