Let's divide 842722 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 842722 can be divided by 74.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 84 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 102 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
102 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 74 away from 102, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 74

On to step 4:
287 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Deduct 222 from 287 and we're left with 65.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 652 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 652 8 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1138.0
Subtract 592 from 652 to get 60.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 602 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 602 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11388.0
Deduct 592 from 602 and we're left 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 7:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11388.1
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.

On to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11388.13
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 380 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11388.135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11388.1351
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 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:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11388.13513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11388.135135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11388.1351351
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
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:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11388.13513513
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.

Our division results in 11388.13513513 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
