Let's divide 7404974 by 455
We want to figure out the number of times 7404974 can be divided by 455.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 455, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 455

Advancing to step 2:
455 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 74 and we're left with 74.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 740 / 455

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 740 by 455, we get 1 with a remainder of 285.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 455 away from 740, we end up with 285.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 285 and continue: 2854 / 455

Moving on to step 4:
455 goes into 2854 6 times with a remainder of 124.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 2730 from 2854 and we're left with 124.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 124, then repeat: 1249 / 455

On to step 5:
455 goes into 1249 2 times with a remainder of 339.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 162.0
The remainder is 339 after subtracting 910 from 1249.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 339, then repeat: 3397 / 455

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 455 fits into 3397 7 times, leaving a remainder of 212.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1627.0
Deduct 3185 from 3397 and we're left with 212.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 212, then repeat: 2124 / 455

Step 7:
When dividing 2124 by 455, we get 4 with a remainder of 304.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16274.0
The remainder is 304 after subtracting 1820 from 2124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
455 can be fit into 3040 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 310.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16274.6
If we subtract 2730 from 3040, we get 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
455 goes into 3100 6 times with a remainder of 370.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16274.66
Deduct 2730 from 3100 and we're left with 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16274.66 with a balance of 0.37.
