74241786 divided by 427 
Our goal is to divide 74241786 by 427.

Step 1:
427 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 427

Advancing to step 2:
427 goes into 74 0 times with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 742 / 427

On to step 3:
427 can be fit into 742 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 315.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 427 from 742 and we're left with 315.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 315, then repeat: 3154 / 427

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 3154 by 427, we get 7 with a remainder of 165.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 2989 from 3154 leaves us with 165.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1651 / 427

Going ahead to step 5:
1651 divided by 427 is 3 with a remainder of 370.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173.0
If we take 1281 away from 1651, we end up with 370.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 370 and continue: 3707 / 427

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 427 fits into 3707 8 times, leaving a remainder of 291.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1738.0
The remainder is 291 after subtracting 3416 from 3707.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 291, then repeat: 2918 / 427

Step 7:
427 goes into 2918 6 times with a remainder of 356.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17386.0
If we take 2562 away from 2918, we end up with 356.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 356, then carry on: 3566 / 427

Step 8:
If we divide 3566 by 427, we get 8 and a remainder of 150.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173868.0
Subtract 3416 from 3566 to get 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
427 goes into 1500 3 times with a remainder of 219.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173868.3
If we take 1281 away from 1500, we end up with 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 2190 by 427, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173868.35
Subtract 2135 from 2190 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
427 can be fit into 550 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 173868.351
Deduct 427 from 550 and we're left with 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
427 goes into 1230 2 times with a remainder of 376.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173868.3512
Subtracting 854 from 1230 leaves us with 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 427 fits into 3760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 344.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173868.35128
If we take 3416 away from 3760, we end up with 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
427 goes into 3440 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173868.351288
If we subtract 3416 from 3440, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 173868.351288 with a remainder of 2.4e-06.
