We look at the division of 527981 by 74 
We want to divide 527981 by 74.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 52, we end up with 52.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 527 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 527 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 518 from 527.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
99 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 74 from 99, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 can be fit into 258 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 713.0
Subtract 222 from 258 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 can be fit into 361 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7134.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 296 from 361.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
650 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7134.8
If we subtract 592 from 650, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7134.87
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 9:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7134.878
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7134.8783
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7134.87837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7134.878378
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
280 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7134.8783783
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 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 14:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7134.87837837
Subtract 518 from 580 to 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.

Our division results in 7134.87837837 with a remaining 6.2e-08.
