We look at the division of 74517231 by 474 
We want to divide 74517231 by 474.

Let's proceed to step 1:
474 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 474

Let's proceed to step 2:
474 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 745 / 474

Advancing to step 3:
The number 474 fits into 745 1 times, leaving a remainder of 271.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 474 from 745 leaves us with 271.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 271, then carry on: 2711 / 474

Step 4:
When dividing 2711 by 474, we get 5 with a remainder of 341.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 341 after subtracting 2370 from 2711.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 341, then repeat: 3417 / 474

Step 5:
474 goes into 3417 7 times with a remainder of 99.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
If we take 3318 away from 3417, we end up with 99.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 99 and continue with: 992 / 474

Step 6:
474 can be fit into 992 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1572.0
Subtract 948 from 992 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 443 / 474

Moving on to step 7:
The number 474 fits into 443 0 times, leaving a remainder of 443.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15720.0
Deduct 0 from 443 and we're left with 443.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 443, then repeat: 4431 / 474

Step 8:
474 goes into 4431 9 times with a remainder of 165.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157209.0
Deduct 4266 from 4431 and we're left with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
474 goes into 1650 3 times with a remainder of 228.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157209.3
Subtracting 1422 from 1650 leaves us with 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 474 fits into 2280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 384.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157209.34
Deduct 1896 from 2280 and we're left with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
474 can be fit into 3840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157209.348
Deduct 3792 from 3840 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 12:
If we divide 480 by 474, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157209.3481
If we take 474 away from 480, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 474 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 157209.3481
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
474 can be fit into 600 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 157209.348101
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 474 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
1260 divided by 474 is 2 with a remainder of 312.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157209.3481012
Deduct 948 from 1260 and we're left with 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
3120 divided by 474 is 6 with a remainder of 276.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157209.34810126
Subtracting 2844 from 3120 leaves us with 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 157209.34810126 and a remainder of 2.76e-07.
