We look at the division of 74042038 by 447 
We want to divide 74042038 by 447.

On to step 1:
The number 447 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 447

On to step 2:
447 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 740 / 447

Step 3:
740 divided by 447 is 1 with a remainder of 293.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 293 after subtracting 447 from 740.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 293, then repeat: 2934 / 447

On to step 4:
2934 divided by 447 is 6 with a remainder of 252.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 2682 from 2934 and we're left with 252.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 252 and continue with: 2522 / 447

On to step 5:
If we divide 2522 by 447, we get 5 and a remainder of 287.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtracting 2235 from 2522 leaves us with 287.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 287, then carry on: 2870 / 447

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 2870 by 447, we get 6 and a remainder of 188.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1656.0
Deduct 2682 from 2870 and we're left with 188.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 188, then carry on: 1883 / 447

Moving on to step 7:
1883 divided by 447 is 4 with a remainder of 95.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16564.0
Subtract 1788 from 1883 to get 95.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 95, then repeat: 958 / 447

Let's proceed to step 8:
958 divided by 447 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165642.0
Deduct 894 from 958 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 447 fits into 640 1 times, leaving a remainder of 193.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 165642.1
Deduct 447 from 640 and we're left with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
1930 divided by 447 is 4 with a remainder of 142.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 165642.14
Subtract 1788 from 1930 to get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
447 goes into 1420 3 times with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 165642.143
Subtract 1341 from 1420 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 447 fits into 790 1 times, leaving a remainder of 343.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165642.1431
Subtracting 447 from 790 leaves us with 343.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3430, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
447 can be fit into 3430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 301.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165642.14317
Subtracting 3129 from 3430 leaves us with 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3010, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
447 can be fit into 3010 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 328.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165642.143176
Subtracting 2682 from 3010 leaves us with 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
447 can be fit into 3280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 151.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165642.1431767
The remainder is 151 after subtracting 3129 from 3280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
1510 divided by 447 is 3 with a remainder of 169.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 165642.14317673
Subtract 1341 from 1510 to get 169.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1690, and continue the process.

Our division results in 165642.14317673 with a remaining 1.69e-07.
