409781 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 409781 by 74.

On to step 1:
74 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
40 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 74

On to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 409 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 370 from 409 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 397 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 397 5 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 370 from 397 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 278 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 553.0
If we subtract 222 from 278, we get 56.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 561 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 561 7 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5537.0
If we subtract 518 from 561, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5537.5
Subtracting 370 from 430 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5537.58
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 592 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5537.581
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5537.581
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 600 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5537.58108
Subtract 592 from 600 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5537.581081
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5537.581081
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5537.58108108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5537.58108108, with a leftover of 8e-09.
