We're dividing 559871 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 559871 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 74, we get 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.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 74

On to step 2:
74 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 559 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 559 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 518 from 559, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 can be fit into 418 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 370 from 418 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 487 6 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 756.0
If we subtract 444 from 487, we get 43.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 431 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 431 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7565.0
Subtract 370 from 431 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
610 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7565.8
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 592 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7565.82
If we subtract 148 from 180, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7565.824
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
240 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7565.8243
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7565.82432
If we take 148 away from 180, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7565.824324
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7565.8243243
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 180 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7565.82432432
Subtract 148 from 180 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7565.82432432 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
