We're dividing 493871 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 493871.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 493 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 493 6 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 444 from 493 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 498 / 74

Step 4:
498 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we subtract 444 from 498, we get 54.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 547 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 547 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 667.0
Deduct 518 from 547 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 291 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 291 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6673.0
If we subtract 222 from 291, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 690 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6673.9
Subtracting 666 from 690 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6673.93
Subtract 222 from 240 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6673.932
If we take 148 away from 180, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6673.9324
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6673.93243
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6673.932432
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6673.9324324
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
240 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6673.93243243
Subtract 222 from 240 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6673.93243243, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
