540374 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 540374 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 74

On to step 2:
74 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 540 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 223 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 223 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we take 222 away from 223, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 17 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 730.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 174 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
174 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7302.0
If we take 148 away from 174, we end up 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.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7302.3
Subtract 222 from 260 to 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7302.35
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7302.351
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 10:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7302.3513
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.

Advancing to step 11:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7302.35135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left 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 12:
74 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7302.351351
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 13:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7302.3513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7302.35135135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 7302.35135135, and the remainder is 1e-08.
