Let's divide 597973 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 597973.

Step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 74

On to step 2:
74 can be fit into 59 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 59, we get 59.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 597 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 597 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 592 from 597 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 59 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 597 / 74

On to step 5:
74 goes into 597 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 808.0
Deduct 592 from 597 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 53 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8080.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 530 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8080.7
If we take 518 away from 530, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8080.71
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8080.716
If we subtract 444 from 460, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8080.7162
If we take 148 away from 160, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8080.71621
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 74 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8080.716216
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
160 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8080.7162162
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8080.71621621
Deduct 74 from 120 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8080.71621621, with a leftover of 4.6e-08.
