738971 divided by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 738971.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 0 from 73.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 738 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
738 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 72.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 666 from 738, we get 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
729 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 666 away from 729, we end up with 63.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 637 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 637 8 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.0
Subtract 592 from 637 to get 45.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 451 / 74

Step 6:
The number 74 fits into 451 6 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9986.0
Subtracting 444 from 451 leaves us with 7.
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:
70 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9986.0
If we subtract 0 from 70, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9986.09
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9986.094
If we take 296 away from 340, we end up with 44.
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 10:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9986.0945
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 370 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9986.09459
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9986.094594
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9986.0945945
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9986.09459459
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.

Our division results in 9986.09459459 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
