We divide 438298 by 74
Our goal is to divide 438298 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 43 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 43, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 438 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 goes into 438 5 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 370 from 438 and we're left with 68.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 682 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 682 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 666 from 682 to get 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 169 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 592.0
If we subtract 148 from 169, we get 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 218 2 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5922.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 148 from 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5922.9
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5922.94
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.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5922.945
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5922.9459
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5922.94594
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5922.945945
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5922.9459459
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5922.94594594
If we take 296 away from 340, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 5922.94594594, with a leftover of 4.4e-08.
