We divide 481979 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 481979.

On to step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 481 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 481 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 444 from 481 to get 37.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 379 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
379 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 370 from 379 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
97 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 651.0
Deduct 74 from 97 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 239 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6513.0
If we take 222 away from 239, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6513.2
If we subtract 148 from 170, we get 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 8:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6513.22
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6513.22 and a remainder of 0.072.
