Let's divide 550488 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 550488.

Advancing to step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 74

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 550 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 550 7 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 518 from 550, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 324 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 324 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
Deduct 296 from 324 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 288 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 288 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 743.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 222 from 288.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 668 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 668 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7439.0
If we subtract 666 from 668, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7439.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7439.02
If we take 148 away from 200, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7439.027
Deduct 518 from 520 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7439.027
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7439.02702
If we take 148 away from 200, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7439.027027
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7439.027027
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 200 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7439.02702702
Subtract 148 from 200 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7439.02702702, with a leftover of 5.2e-08.
