We're dividing 374879 by 5 
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 374879.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 5

Moving on to step 2:
The number 5 fits into 37 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 35 from 37.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 can be fit into 24 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 20 away from 24, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 5

Let's proceed to step 4:
5 can be fit into 48 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 749.0
Subtracting 45 from 48 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 5

On to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 37 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7497.0
Subtracting 35 from 37 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 5

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 29 by 5, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74975.0
If we subtract 25 from 29, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
5 can be fit into 40 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74975.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74975.8
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74975.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 74975.8 with a remaining 0.0.
