We divide 496471 by 74
Our goal is to divide 496471 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
49 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 496 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 496 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 444 from 496 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 524 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 524 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
Subtracting 518 from 524 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 67 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 670.0
If we subtract 0 from 67, we get 67.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 671 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 goes into 671 9 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6709.0
Deduct 666 from 671 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6709.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6709.06
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6709.067
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6709.0675
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 370 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6709.06756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6709.067567
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6709.0675675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6709.06756756
Subtracting 444 from 500 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6709.06756756, with a leftover of 5.6e-08.
