We divide 406851 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 406851 can be divided by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 74

On to step 3:
74 can be fit into 406 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 370 from 406 to get 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 368 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 296 away from 368, we end up with 72.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 725 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 725 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 549.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 666 from 725.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 591 / 74

Step 6:
The number 74 fits into 591 7 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5497.0
Subtract 518 from 591 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 730 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 64.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.9
If we subtract 666 from 730, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5497.98
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5497.986
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.9864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5497.98648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.986486
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5497.9864864
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5497.98648648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5497.98648648 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
