We divide 461222 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 461222 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 461 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 goes into 461 6 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 444 from 461, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
172 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 148 away from 172, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 242 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 623.0
If we subtract 222 from 242, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 202 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
202 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6232.0
Subtract 148 from 202 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6232.7
Subtract 518 from 540 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6232.72
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 720 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6232.729
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6232.7297
If we subtract 518 from 540, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6232.72972
If we take 148 away from 220, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6232.729729
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6232.7297297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6232.72972972
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6232.72972972 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
