We divide 486773 by 74
We want to divide 486773 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 486 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 486 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 444 from 486.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 427 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we subtract 370 from 427, we get 57.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 577 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 577 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 657.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 518 from 577.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 593 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 593 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6578.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 592 from 593.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6578.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6578.01
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
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 9:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6578.013
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 380 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6578.0135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6578.01351
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6578.013513
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6578.0135135
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 14:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6578.01351351
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.

The quotient of the division is 6578.01351351, and the remainder is 2.6e-08.
