742301 ÷ 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 742301.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 74 from 74.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 74

Step 4:
23 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 100.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 230 / 74

On to step 5:
When dividing 230 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1003.0
Subtracting 222 from 230 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 74

On to step 6:
When dividing 81 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10031.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 74 from 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10031.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10031.09
Deduct 666 from 700 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10031.094
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10031.0945
If we subtract 370 from 440, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10031.09459
If we subtract 666 from 700, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10031.094594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10031.0945945
Subtract 370 from 440 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10031.09459459
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final result is 10031.09459459 with a remainder of 3.4e-08.
