We're dividing 74225877 by 428 
We want to divide 74225877 by 428.

Moving on to step 1:
428 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 428

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 428 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 74 leaves us with 74.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 742 / 428

On to step 3:
742 divided by 428 is 1 with a remainder of 314.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 428 from 742 to get 314.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 314 and continue with: 3142 / 428

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 3142 by 428, we get 7 with a remainder of 146.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 2996 from 3142 leaves us with 146.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 146 and continue: 1465 / 428

On to step 5:
1465 divided by 428 is 3 with a remainder of 181.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173.0
Deduct 1284 from 1465 and we're left with 181.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 181 and repeat the process: 1818 / 428

Step 6:
If we divide 1818 by 428, we get 4 and a remainder of 106.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1734.0
If we subtract 1712 from 1818, we get 106.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 106 and continue: 1067 / 428

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1067 by 428, we get 2 and a remainder of 211.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17342.0
Subtract 856 from 1067 to get 211.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 211 and continue: 2117 / 428

Let's proceed to step 8:
428 goes into 2117 4 times with a remainder of 405.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173424.0
If we subtract 1712 from 2117, we get 405.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4050, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 4050 by 428, we get 9 and a remainder of 198.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173424.9
The remainder is 198 after subtracting 3852 from 4050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1980 by 428, we get 4 and a remainder of 268.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173424.94
The remainder is 268 after subtracting 1712 from 1980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
2680 divided by 428 is 6 with a remainder of 112.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173424.946
Subtract 2568 from 2680 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1120 divided by 428 is 2 with a remainder of 264.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173424.9462
Deduct 856 from 1120 and we're left with 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 2640 by 428, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173424.94626
If we subtract 2568 from 2640, we 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.

Step 14:
428 goes into 720 1 times with a remainder of 292.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173424.946261
Deduct 428 from 720 and we're left with 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 2920 by 428, we get 6 and a remainder of 352.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173424.9462616
Subtract 2568 from 2920 to get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
428 goes into 3520 8 times with a remainder of 96.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173424.94626168
If we take 3424 away from 3520, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 173424.94626168, with a leftover of 9.6e-08.
