We're dividing 487798 by 74 
We want to divide 487798 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 74

On to step 2:
74 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 487 / 74

On to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 43.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 444 from 487.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 437 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 437 5 times with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtracting 370 from 437 leaves us with 67.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 679 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 679 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 659.0
If we subtract 666 from 679, we get 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 138 1 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6591.0
If we subtract 74 from 138, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6591.8
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 592 from 640.
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 8:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6591.86
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6591.864
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6591.8648
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.

Advancing to step 11:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6591.86486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6591.864864
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 13:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6591.8648648
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 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 14:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6591.86486486
Subtract 444 from 480 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6591.86486486 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
