542298 divided by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 542298.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 54 leaves us with 54.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 542 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 can be fit into 542 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 518 from 542.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 242 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 222 from 242 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 209 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 209 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 732.0
If we take 148 away from 209, we end up with 61.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 618 / 74

On to step 6:
When dividing 618 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7328.0
Subtracting 592 from 618 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7328.3
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7328.35
Subtracting 370 from 380 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7328.351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7328.3513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7328.35135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7328.351351
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7328.3513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7328.35135135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7328.35135135, and the remainder is 1e-08.
