We divide 596221 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 596221.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 59 to get 59.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 596 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 596 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 592 from 596 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
42 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 422 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 422 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 52.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 805.0
If we subtract 370 from 422, we get 52.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 521 / 74

On to step 6:
521 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8057.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 518 from 521.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8057.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8057.04
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8057.04
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8057.0405
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 370 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8057.04054
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
40 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8057.04054
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8057.0405405
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8057.04054054
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 296 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8057.04054054 with a remaining 4e-09.
