420131 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 420131 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 370 from 420 leaves us with 50.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 501 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 501 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 57.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 444 from 501, we get 57.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 573 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 573 7 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 567.0
Subtracting 518 from 573 leaves us with 55.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 551 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 551 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5677.0
If we subtract 518 from 551, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 330 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5677.4
If we subtract 296 from 330, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5677.44
Subtract 296 from 340 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 5677.44 with a remainder of 0.044.
