We're dividing 74944949 by 523 
We're looking to find how many times 523 goes into 74944949.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 523, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 523

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 523, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 749 / 523

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 523 fits into 749 1 times, leaving a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 523 from 749, we get 226.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 226 and continue with: 2264 / 523

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2264 by 523, we get 4 with a remainder of 172.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 2092 from 2264 leaves us with 172.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 172, then carry on: 1724 / 523

Step 5:
When dividing 1724 by 523, we get 3 with a remainder of 155.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 143.0
Subtract 1569 from 1724 to get 155.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 155 and continue: 1559 / 523

On to step 6:
1559 divided by 523 is 2 with a remainder of 513.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1432.0
If we take 1046 away from 1559, we end up with 513.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 513 and repeat the process: 5134 / 523

On to step 7:
523 can be fit into 5134 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 427.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14329.0
The remainder is 427 after subtracting 4707 from 5134.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 427 and repeat the process: 4279 / 523

On to step 8:
The number 523 fits into 4279 8 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 143298.0
If we take 4184 away from 4279, we end up with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
523 can be fit into 950 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 427.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 143298.1
If we subtract 523 from 950, we get 427.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4270, and continue the process.

Step 10:
523 goes into 4270 8 times with a remainder of 86.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 143298.18
If we subtract 4184 from 4270, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
523 goes into 860 1 times with a remainder of 337.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 143298.181
Deduct 523 from 860 and we're left with 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3370, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 523 fits into 3370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 232.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 143298.1816
The remainder is 232 after subtracting 3138 from 3370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
523 can be fit into 2320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 143298.18164
Subtracting 2092 from 2320 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 2280 by 523, we get 4 and a remainder of 188.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 143298.181644
Deduct 2092 from 2280 and we're left with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Our division results in 143298.181644 with a remaining 1.88e-05.
