Let's divide 876242 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 876242 can be divided by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 87, we get 13.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 136 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 136 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 74 from 136 to get 62.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 622 / 74

On to step 4:
622 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 592 from 622.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 304 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1184.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 296 from 304.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 82 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11841.0
Subtracting 74 from 82 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11841.1
If we take 74 away from 80, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11841.1
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11841.108
Subtract 592 from 600 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11841.1081
If we subtract 74 from 80, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11841.1081
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11841.108108
If we subtract 592 from 600, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11841.1081081
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 60 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11841.1081081
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11841.1081081, and the remainder is 6e-08.
