Let's divide 655454 by 74
We want to divide 655454 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 65 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 65, we get 65.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 655 / 74

On to step 3:
74 can be fit into 655 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 592 from 655, we get 63.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 634 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 634 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 88.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 592 from 634.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 425 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
74 can be fit into 425 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 885.0
If we take 370 away from 425, we end up with 55.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 554 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 554 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8857.0
Subtract 518 from 554 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8857.4
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8857.48
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8857.486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8857.4864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8857.48648
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 592 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8857.486486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8857.4864864
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8857.48648648
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 8857.48648648 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
