Let's divide 754723 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 754723 can be divided by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 75 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 75 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 74 from 75 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 147 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 101.0
Subtract 74 from 147 to get 73.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 732 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
732 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 66.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1019.0
If we take 666 away from 732, we end up with 66.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 663 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
663 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 71.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10198.0
If we subtract 592 from 663, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
710 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10198.9
If we subtract 666 from 710, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10198.95
Subtracting 370 from 440 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10198.959
If we subtract 666 from 700, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10198.9594
Subtract 296 from 340 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10198.95945
If we take 370 away from 440, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10198.959459
If we take 666 away from 700, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10198.9594594
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10198.95945945
Deduct 370 from 440 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10198.95945945 with a remaining 7e-08.
