496474 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 496474 by 74.

Advancing 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.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 74

On to step 2:
74 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 496 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 can be fit into 496 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 444 from 496, we get 52.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 524 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 goes into 524 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 518 away from 524, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 67 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 670.0
If we take 0 away from 67, we end up with 67.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 674 / 74

Step 6:
674 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6709.0
Subtracting 666 from 674 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6709.1
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6709.1
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6709.108
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
80 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6709.1081
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6709.1081
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6709.108108
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 592 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6709.1081081
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6709.1081081
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6709.1081081 with a remaining 6e-08.
