We're dividing 588159 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 588159 by 74.

On to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 58 to get 58.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 588 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 588 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 70.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 518 from 588 leaves us with 70.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 701 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 701 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 79.0
Deduct 666 from 701 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 355 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 355 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 794.0
Subtracting 296 from 355 leaves us with 59.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 599 / 74

On to step 6:
599 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7948.0
Deduct 592 from 599 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
74 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7948.0
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7948.09
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 9:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7948.094
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7948.0945
If we subtract 370 from 440, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7948.09459
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7948.094594
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7948.0945945
Subtracting 370 from 440 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7948.09459459
Deduct 666 from 700 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7948.09459459 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
