Let's divide 74589 by 16
Our goal is to divide 74589 by 16.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 16, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 64 from 74 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 105 / 16

On to step 3:
16 can be fit into 105 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Deduct 96 from 105 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 98 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 466.0
If we take 96 away from 98, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 29 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4661.0
Subtracting 16 from 29 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 130 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4661.8
Subtract 128 from 130 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4661.81
If we subtract 16 from 20, 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 8:
16 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4661.812
Deduct 32 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4661.8125
If we subtract 80 from 80, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4661.8125
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4661.8125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4661.8125, with a leftover of 0.0.
