We're dividing 487939 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 487939 by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
48 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 487 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 444 away from 487, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 74

On to step 4:
If we divide 439 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 69.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 370 from 439 and we're left with 69.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 693 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 693 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 659.0
Subtract 666 from 693 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
279 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6593.0
Deduct 222 from 279 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 570 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6593.7
Subtract 518 from 570 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6593.77
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 6593.77 with a remainder of 0.002.
