We're dividing 492508 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 492508 by 74.

Advancing 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.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 74

Moving on 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
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 492 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 492 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 444 from 492 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 485 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 485 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 41.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 66.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 444 from 485.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 410 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
410 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 665.0
Subtracting 370 from 410 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 408 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 370 from 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6655.5
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.

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: 6655.51
If we subtract 74 from 100, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 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:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.5135
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.

Advancing to step 11:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6655.51351
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.

Step 12:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6655.513513
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up 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.

Step 13:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.5135135
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.51351351
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6655.51351351 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
