74642 divided by 28 
We want to figure out the number of times 74642 can be divided by 28.

On to step 1:
The number 28 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 28, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 56 from 74 leaves us with 18.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 186 / 28

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 186 by 28, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 168 away from 186, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 28

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 184 by 28, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 266.0
Deduct 168 from 184 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 28

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 162 by 28, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2665.0
Subtracting 140 from 162 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 28 fits into 220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2665.7
Subtract 196 from 220 to 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.

Step 7:
28 can be fit into 240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2665.78
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
28 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2665.785
Subtract 140 from 160 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
28 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2665.7857
If we subtract 196 from 200, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 28, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2665.78571
Deduct 28 from 40 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
120 divided by 28 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2665.785714
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
28 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2665.7857142
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
28 can be fit into 240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2665.78571428
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 2665.78571428 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
