We're dividing 712942 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 712942.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 712 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 712 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 666 from 712.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 469 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 can be fit into 469 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we subtract 444 from 469, we get 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 254 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 963.0
Deduct 222 from 254 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 322 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 322 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9634.0
If we subtract 296 from 322, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9634.3
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9634.35
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9634.351
If we subtract 74 from 100, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9634.3513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9634.35135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9634.351351
Deduct 74 from 100 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9634.3513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9634.35135135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9634.35135135 and a remainder of 1e-08.
