We look at the division of 494466 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 494466.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
49 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 74

Step 3:
494 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 50.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 444 from 494, we get 50.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 504 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 504 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 66.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 444 from 504.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 606 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 606 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 668.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 592 from 606.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 146 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6681.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 74 from 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6681.9
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6681.97
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6681.972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6681.9729
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
540 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6681.97297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6681.972972
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 720 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6681.9729729
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6681.97297297
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6681.97297297 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
