We divide 431494 by 74
Our goal is to divide 431494 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 43 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 431 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 431 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 370 from 431, we get 61.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 614 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 614 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 592 from 614 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
229 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 583.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 222 from 229.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 74 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5831.0
Deduct 74 from 74 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5831.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5831.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 5831.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
