We look at the division of 478890 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 478890.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 74

Step 2:
47 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 74

On to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 478 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 444 from 478.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 348 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
348 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 296 from 348.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 529 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 529 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 647.0
Deduct 518 from 529 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6471.0
If we subtract 74 from 110, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6471.4
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6471.48
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6471.486
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6471.4864
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6471.48648
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6471.486486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6471.4864864
Subtract 296 from 360 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6471.48648648
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6471.48648648, with a leftover of 4.8e-08.
