We divide 740254 by 1
Our goal is to divide 740254 by 1.

Step 1:
7 divided by 1 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 7 away from 7, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 1

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 0 by 1, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 740.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 1

Step 4:
1 goes into 2 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7402.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 1

Let's proceed to step 5:
5 divided by 1 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 74025.0
Subtracting 5 from 5 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 740254.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 740254.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 740254.0
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.

The final outcome is 740254.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
