Let's divide 40046474 by 74
Our goal is to divide 40046474 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 400 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 370 from 400.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 goes into 304 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 296 from 304, we get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 86 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541.0
Deduct 74 from 86 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 124 1 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5411.0
Subtract 74 from 124 to get 50.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 507 / 74

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 507 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54116.0
If we subtract 444 from 507, we get 63.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 634 / 74

Step 8:
634 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541168.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 592 from 634.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 541168.5
Deduct 370 from 420 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 541168.56
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 541168.567
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 518 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 541168.5675
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541168.56756
If we subtract 444 from 500, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 541168.567567
Subtract 518 from 560 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 74 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 541168.5675675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 541168.56756756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 541168.56756756 with a balance of 5.6e-08.
