We're dividing 461574 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 461574 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 461 / 74

Step 3:
When dividing 461 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 444 away from 461, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
175 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtracting 148 from 175 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 277 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 277 3 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 623.0
Deduct 222 from 277 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 554 / 74

Step 6:
554 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6237.0
If we subtract 518 from 554, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6237.4
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6237.48
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6237.486
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6237.4864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6237.48648
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6237.486486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6237.4864864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6237.48648648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6237.48648648 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
