We're dividing 501896 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 501896.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 74

On to step 2:
50 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 501 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 501 6 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 444 from 501, we get 57.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 578 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 578 7 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 518 away from 578, we end up with 60.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 609 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 can be fit into 609 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 678.0
If we subtract 592 from 609, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
176 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6782.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 148 from 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6782.3
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6782.37
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6782.378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6782.3783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6782.37837
Deduct 518 from 580 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 12:
620 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6782.378378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6782.3783783
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6782.37837837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6782.37837837, and the remainder is 6.2e-08.
