540181 ÷ 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 540181 can be divided by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 74

On to step 2:
54 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 540 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 goes into 221 2 times with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 148 from 221 leaves us with 73.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 738 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 738 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 729.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 666 from 738.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 721 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 goes into 721 9 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7299.0
If we take 666 away from 721, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
550 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7299.7
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 518 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7299.74
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 296 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7299.743
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7299.7432
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7299.74324
Deduct 296 from 320 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7299.743243
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 180 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7299.7432432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7299.74324324
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 296 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7299.74324324, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
