Let's divide 473462 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 473462 can be divided by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 74

Step 2:
When dividing 47 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 473 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 473 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 29.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 444 from 473 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 294 / 74

On to step 4:
If we divide 294 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 72.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 222 away from 294, we end up with 72.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 726 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 726 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 639.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 666 from 726.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 602 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 602 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6398.0
Subtracting 592 from 602 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6398.1
Deduct 74 from 100 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6398.13
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6398.135
Subtracting 370 from 380 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6398.1351
Deduct 74 from 100 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6398.13513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6398.135135
Subtracting 370 from 380 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6398.1351351
Deduct 74 from 100 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6398.13513513
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6398.13513513 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
