We look at the division of 406842 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 406842.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 74

Step 2:
40 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 406 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 406 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 370 from 406.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 368 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 368 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 296 from 368 leaves us with 72.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 724 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 724 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 549.0
If we take 666 away from 724, we end up with 58.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 582 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
582 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5497.0
If we take 518 away from 582, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.8
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5497.86
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5497.864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.8648
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.86486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5497.864864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.8648648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5497.86486486
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5497.86486486, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
