We divide 549964 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 549964.

Step 1:
5 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 549 / 74

On to step 3:
If we divide 549 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 518 away from 549, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 can be fit into 319 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 296 from 319 to get 23.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 236 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
236 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 743.0
If we subtract 222 from 236, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 144 1 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7431.0
If we take 74 away from 144, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7431.9
If we subtract 666 from 700, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7431.94
Subtract 296 from 340 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7431.945
If we take 370 away from 440, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7431.9459
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7431.94594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7431.945945
If we take 370 away from 440, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7431.9459459
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7431.94594594
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7431.94594594 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
