We look at the division of 598485 by 74 
We want to divide 598485 by 74.

Going ahead 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 subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 59 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 598 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
598 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 592 from 598 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 80.0
Deduct 0 from 64 and we're left with 64.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 648 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
648 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 808.0
Subtract 592 from 648 to get 56.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 565 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 565 7 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8087.0
Deduct 518 from 565 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
470 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8087.6
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 444 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8087.63
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.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8087.635
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.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8087.6351
Deduct 74 from 100 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8087.63513
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:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8087.635135
Subtracting 370 from 380 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8087.6351351
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8087.63513513
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8087.63513513 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
