We're dividing 74534352 by 431 
Our goal is to divide 74534352 by 431.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 431 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 431

Advancing to step 2:
The number 431 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 745 / 431

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 745 by 431, we get 1 with a remainder of 314.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 431 from 745 to get 314.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 314, then repeat: 3143 / 431

Step 4:
If we divide 3143 by 431, we get 7 and a remainder of 126.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 3017 from 3143, we get 126.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 126 and continue: 1264 / 431

On to step 5:
If we divide 1264 by 431, we get 2 and a remainder of 402.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we subtract 862 from 1264, we get 402.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 402 and continue: 4023 / 431

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 431 fits into 4023 9 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1729.0
Deduct 3879 from 4023 and we're left with 144.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 144 and continue: 1445 / 431

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 1445 by 431, we get 3 and a remainder of 152.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17293.0
Subtract 1293 from 1445 to get 152.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 152 and continue: 1522 / 431

Going ahead to step 8:
431 goes into 1522 3 times with a remainder of 229.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172933.0
Subtract 1293 from 1522 to get 229.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 2290 by 431, we get 5 with a remainder of 135.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 172933.5
If we subtract 2155 from 2290, we get 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 1350 by 431, we get 3 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172933.53
Subtracting 1293 from 1350 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
431 can be fit into 570 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 139.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 172933.531
If we take 431 away from 570, we end up with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
431 goes into 1390 3 times with a remainder of 97.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172933.5313
Subtracting 1293 from 1390 leaves us with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 970 by 431, we get 2 with a remainder of 108.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172933.53132
Subtracting 862 from 970 leaves us with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
431 can be fit into 1080 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 218.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172933.531322
Deduct 862 from 1080 and we're left with 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 172933.531322, with a leftover of 2.18e-05.
