542730 ÷ 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 542730.

Advancing to step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
54 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 542 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 542 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 518 from 542 to get 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 247 3 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtract 222 from 247 to get 25.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 253 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 253 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 733.0
If we take 222 away from 253, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7334.0
Subtract 296 from 310 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7334.1
If we take 74 away from 140, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7334.18
Subtract 592 from 660 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7334.189
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 666 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7334.1891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7334.18918
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 592 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7334.189189
If we subtract 666 from 680, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7334.1891891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7334.18918918
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 592 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7334.18918918, and the remainder is 6.8e-08.
