506873 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 506873 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 74, we get 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 (6) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 506 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 506 6 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 444 from 506.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 628 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 goes into 628 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 592 from 628, we get 36.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 367 / 74

On to step 5:
367 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 71.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 684.0
If we take 296 away from 367, we end up with 71.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 713 / 74

On to step 6:
If we divide 713 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6849.0
If we take 666 away from 713, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6849.6
If we subtract 444 from 470, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6849.63
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 380 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6849.635
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6849.6351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6849.63513
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6849.635135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6849.6351351
If we subtract 74 from 100, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6849.63513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6849.63513513 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
