996458 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 996458 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
74 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 99 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 256 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 222 from 256 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 344 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 344 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 296 from 344.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 485 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
74 goes into 485 6 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1346.0
Deduct 444 from 485 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 can be fit into 418 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13465.0
If we take 370 away from 418, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13465.6
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13465.64
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13465.648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13465.6486
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13465.64864
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13465.648648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13465.6486486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13465.64864864
Subtract 296 from 360 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13465.64864864 and a remainder of 6.4e-08.
