Let's divide 749902 by 473
We want to divide 749902 by 473.

Moving on to step 1:
473 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 473

Going ahead to step 2:
74 divided by 473 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 74 leaves us with 74.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 749 / 473

Moving on to step 3:
473 goes into 749 1 times with a remainder of 276.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 473 from 749 leaves us with 276.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 276, then repeat: 2769 / 473

Step 4:
When dividing 2769 by 473, we get 5 with a remainder of 404.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 404 after subtracting 2365 from 2769.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 404, then repeat: 4040 / 473

Going ahead to step 5:
4040 divided by 473 is 8 with a remainder of 256.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158.0
If we take 3784 away from 4040, we end up with 256.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 256, then carry on: 2562 / 473

Step 6:
If we divide 2562 by 473, we get 5 and a remainder of 197.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1585.0
Subtracting 2365 from 2562 leaves us with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
473 goes into 1970 4 times with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1585.4
Subtracting 1892 from 1970 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 473 fits into 780 1 times, leaving a remainder of 307.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1585.41
If we subtract 473 from 780, we get 307.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3070, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
473 can be fit into 3070 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1585.416
Subtract 2838 from 3070 to get 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 2320 by 473, we get 4 with a remainder of 428.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1585.4164
Deduct 1892 from 2320 and we're left with 428.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 4280 by 473, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1585.41649
If we take 4257 away from 4280, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 230 by 473, we get 0 with a remainder of 230.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1585.41649
If we take 0 away from 230, we end up with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 473 fits into 2300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 408.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1585.4164904
If we take 1892 away from 2300, we end up with 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
473 can be fit into 4080 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 296.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1585.41649048
Subtracting 3784 from 4080 leaves us with 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

The final result is 1585.41649048 with a remainder of 2.96e-07.
