Let's divide 984994 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 984994.

Step 1:
74 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 98 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 244 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 244 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 222 away from 244, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 229 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 133.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 222 from 229.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 79 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1331.0
If we take 74 away from 79, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 54 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13310.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13310.7
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13310.72
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13310.729
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13310.7297
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13310.72972
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13310.729729
If we take 666 away from 720, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13310.7297297
If we subtract 518 from 540, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13310.72972972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13310.72972972 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
