We look at the division of 74682978 by 491 
We're looking to find how many times 491 goes into 74682978.

On to step 1:
491 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 491

Moving on to step 2:
74 divided by 491 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 74 and we're left with 74.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 746 / 491

Going ahead to step 3:
746 divided by 491 is 1 with a remainder of 255.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 491 away from 746, we end up with 255.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 255, then carry on: 2558 / 491

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 491 fits into 2558 5 times, leaving a remainder of 103.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 2455 from 2558 to get 103.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 103, then carry on: 1032 / 491

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 1032 by 491, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtracting 982 from 1032 leaves us with 50.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 509 / 491

Going ahead to step 6:
509 divided by 491 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1521.0
Deduct 491 from 509 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 491

Moving on to step 7:
187 divided by 491 is 0 with a remainder of 187.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15210.0
If we subtract 0 from 187, we get 187.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 187 and repeat the process: 1878 / 491

Advancing to step 8:
1878 divided by 491 is 3 with a remainder of 405.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 152103.0
Deduct 1473 from 1878 and we're left with 405.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4050, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
491 goes into 4050 8 times with a remainder of 122.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 152103.8
If we take 3928 away from 4050, we end up with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1220 divided by 491 is 2 with a remainder of 238.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152103.82
The remainder is 238 after subtracting 982 from 1220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
2380 divided by 491 is 4 with a remainder of 416.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 152103.824
Subtract 1964 from 2380 to get 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 491 fits into 4160 8 times, leaving a remainder of 232.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 152103.8248
Deduct 3928 from 4160 and we're left with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
491 goes into 2320 4 times with a remainder of 356.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152103.82484
Subtract 1964 from 2320 to get 356.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3560, and continue the process.

Step 14:
491 goes into 3560 7 times with a remainder of 123.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 152103.824847
If we subtract 3437 from 3560, we get 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 1230 by 491, we get 2 and a remainder of 248.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152103.8248472
If we take 982 away from 1230, we end up with 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 491 fits into 2480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152103.82484725
Deduct 2455 from 2480 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 152103.82484725, with a leftover of 2.5e-08.
