We divide 998617 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 998617 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 99, we get 25.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 258 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 258 3 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 222 away from 258, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 366 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 366 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 70.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
Deduct 296 from 366 and we're left with 70.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 701 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
701 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1349.0
Deduct 666 from 701 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 357 / 74

On to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 357 4 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13494.0
Deduct 296 from 357 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13494.8
If we take 592 away from 610, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13494.82
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13494.824
Subtracting 296 from 320 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13494.8243
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13494.82432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13494.824324
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 296 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13494.8243243
If we take 222 away from 240, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13494.82432432
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 148 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13494.82432432 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
