421718 ÷ 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 421718.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 421 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 goes into 421 5 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 370 from 421, we get 51.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 517 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 517 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 73.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 444 from 517 leaves us with 73.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 731 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 731 9 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 569.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 666 from 731.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 658 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 658 8 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5698.0
Subtract 592 from 658 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 660 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5698.8
If we take 592 away from 660, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5698.89
If we subtract 666 from 680, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5698.891
If we take 74 away from 140, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5698.8918
Subtract 592 from 660 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5698.89189
If we take 666 away from 680, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5698.891891
Subtracting 74 from 140 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5698.8918918
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 592 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5698.89189189
If we subtract 666 from 680, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 5698.89189189 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
