Let's divide 491258 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 491258.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 491 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 491 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 444 from 491, we get 47.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 472 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 472 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we take 444 away from 472, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 285 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 63.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 663.0
If we subtract 222 from 285, we get 63.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 638 / 74

Step 6:
638 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6638.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 592 from 638.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6638.6
If we subtract 444 from 460, we 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 8:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6638.62
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
120 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6638.621
If we subtract 74 from 120, we get 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 10:
The number 74 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6638.6216
Subtracting 444 from 460 leaves us with 16.
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 11:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6638.62162
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6638.621621
Subtract 74 from 120 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6638.6216216
If we take 444 away from 460, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6638.62162162
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6638.62162162 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
