We look at the division of 637240 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 637240.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 63 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
63 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 63.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 63 to get 63.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 637 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 637 8 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 592 from 637 leaves us with 45.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 452 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 452 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 444 from 452.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 861.0
If we take 74 away from 84, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 100 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8611.0
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.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8611.3
Subtract 222 from 260 to 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 8:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8611.35
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8611.351
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 10:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8611.3513
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8611.35135
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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 8611.351351
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8611.3513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to 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.

Advancing to step 14:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8611.35135135
If we subtract 370 from 380, we 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.

The final result is 8611.35135135 with a remainder of 1e-08.
