404942 divided by 74 
We want to divide 404942 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 404 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 404 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 34.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 370 from 404, we get 34.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 349 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 349 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 296 from 349 and we're left with 53.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 534 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 534 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 547.0
If we take 518 away from 534, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 162 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5472.0
Subtracting 148 from 162 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5472.1
Subtracting 74 from 140 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5472.18
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 592 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5472.189
If we subtract 666 from 680, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5472.1891
If we take 74 away from 140, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 660 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5472.18918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5472.189189
Subtracting 666 from 680 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5472.1891891
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 74 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5472.18918918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5472.18918918 and a remainder of 6.8e-08.
