Let's divide 579843 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 579843 can be divided by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 57 0 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 579 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 579 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 518 from 579.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 618 / 74

Step 4:
If we divide 618 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.0
Deduct 592 from 618 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 264 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 783.0
Subtract 222 from 264 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 423 / 74

Step 6:
If we divide 423 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 53.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7835.0
Subtract 370 from 423 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 530 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7835.7
If we subtract 518 from 530, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7835.71
If we take 74 away from 120, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 460 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7835.716
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7835.7162
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7835.71621
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 74 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7835.716216
Subtract 444 from 460 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.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7835.7162162
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 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 14:
When dividing 120 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7835.71621621
If we take 74 away from 120, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The final result is 7835.71621621 with a remainder of 4.6e-08.
