We look at the division of 438559 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 438559.

Step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 43 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 438 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 438 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 370 from 438 and we're left with 68.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 685 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 685 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 666 from 685.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 195 / 74

On to step 5:
74 goes into 195 2 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 592.0
If we subtract 148 from 195, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 74

On to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 479 6 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5926.0
If we take 444 away from 479, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5926.4
If we subtract 296 from 350, 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.

On to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5926.47
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 9:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5926.472
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5926.4729
If we take 666 away from 720, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
540 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5926.47297
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
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 12:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5926.472972
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5926.4729729
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5926.47297297
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.

Our division results in 5926.47297297 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
