We divide 587931 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 587931.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 587 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 587 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 69.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 518 from 587, we get 69.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 699 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 699 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 666 from 699 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 333 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 333 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 794.0
Subtracting 296 from 333 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 371 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 371 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7945.0
Deduct 370 from 371 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7945.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7945.01
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7945.013
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7945.0135
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.

On to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7945.01351
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7945.013513
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7945.0135135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7945.01351351
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 7945.01351351 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
