409609 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 409609 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 409 5 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 370 away from 409, we end up with 39.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 396 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
396 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 370 from 396, we get 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 389 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 389 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5535.0
Subtracting 370 from 389 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5535.2
Subtracting 148 from 190 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5535.25
Subtracting 370 from 420 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5535.256
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5535.2567
Deduct 518 from 560 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5535.25675
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 370 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5535.256756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5535.2567567
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5535.25675675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5535.25675675 with a remaining 5e-08.
