Let's divide 566461 by 74
We want to divide 566461 by 74.

On to step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 56 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 56, we get 56.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 566 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 566 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 518 from 566 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 484 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
484 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we take 444 away from 484, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 406 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 406 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 765.0
Deduct 370 from 406 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 361 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7654.0
If we subtract 296 from 361, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
650 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7654.8
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 592 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7654.87
Deduct 518 from 580 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7654.878
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7654.8783
If we take 222 away from 280, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7654.87837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7654.878378
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7654.8783783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7654.87837837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final result is 7654.87837837 with a remainder of 6.2e-08.
