We're dividing 489269 by 74 
We want to divide 489269 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 489 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 489 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 45.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 444 from 489 leaves us with 45.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 452 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 goes into 452 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we take 444 away from 452, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
86 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 661.0
If we take 74 away from 86, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 can be fit into 129 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6611.0
Subtracting 74 from 129 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 550 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6611.7
Subtracting 518 from 550 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6611.74
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 296 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6611.743
If we take 222 away from 240, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6611.7432
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 148 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6611.74324
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6611.743243
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6611.7432432
Subtract 148 from 180 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6611.74324324
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6611.74324324 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
