Let's divide 388969 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 388969 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 74

On to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 388 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 370 from 388 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 74

Step 4:
If we divide 189 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 148 from 189 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 416 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 416 5 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 525.0
Subtracting 370 from 416 leaves us with 46.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 469 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
469 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5256.0
Deduct 444 from 469 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5256.3
Subtracting 222 from 250 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5256.33
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The final result is 5256.33 with a remainder of 0.058.
