We divide 401798 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 401798.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 401 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 401 5 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 370 from 401, we get 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 goes into 317 4 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 296 away from 317, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 219 2 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 542.0
If we take 148 away from 219, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 718 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 718 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5429.0
Subtracting 666 from 718 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
520 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5429.7
If we take 518 away from 520, we end up 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 8:
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: 5429.7
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5429.702
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
520 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5429.7027
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5429.7027
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5429.702702
Deduct 148 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
74 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5429.7027027
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 518 from 520.
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 14:
If we divide 20 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5429.7027027
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 5429.7027027, and the remainder is 2e-08.
