9742374 divided by 494 
Let's see how many times 494 fits into 9742374.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 494, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 494

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 494, we get 0 and a remainder of 97.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 97 leaves us with 97.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 97, then repeat: 974 / 494

Moving on to step 3:
974 divided by 494 is 1 with a remainder of 480.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 480 after subtracting 494 from 974.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 480, then repeat: 4802 / 494

Step 4:
When dividing 4802 by 494, we get 9 with a remainder of 356.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 4446 from 4802 and we're left with 356.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 356, then carry on: 3563 / 494

Let's proceed to step 5:
3563 divided by 494 is 7 with a remainder of 105.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 197.0
If we take 3458 away from 3563, we end up with 105.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 105 and repeat the process: 1057 / 494

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1057 by 494, we get 2 with a remainder of 69.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1972.0
Deduct 988 from 1057 and we're left with 69.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 694 / 494

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 694 by 494, we get 1 and a remainder of 200.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19721.0
Subtract 494 from 694 to get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
494 can be fit into 2000 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19721.4
Subtracting 1976 from 2000 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 494, we get 0 with a remainder of 240.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19721.4
The remainder is 240 after subtracting 0 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 494 fits into 2400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 424.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19721.404
If we subtract 1976 from 2400, we get 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
494 goes into 4240 8 times with a remainder of 288.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19721.4048
The remainder is 288 after subtracting 3952 from 4240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
494 goes into 2880 5 times with a remainder of 410.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19721.40485
Deduct 2470 from 2880 and we're left with 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
494 can be fit into 4100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19721.404858
The remainder is 148 after subtracting 3952 from 4100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 1480 by 494, we get 2 with a remainder of 492.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 19721.4048582
Deduct 988 from 1480 and we're left with 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

Step 15:
4920 divided by 494 is 9 with a remainder of 474.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19721.40485829
The remainder is 474 after subtracting 4446 from 4920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4740, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19721.40485829 with a balance of 4.74e-07.
