We divide 462238 by 74
Our goal is to divide 462238 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
46 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 462 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 goes into 462 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 444 from 462 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 182 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 182 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 148 from 182.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 343 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 343 4 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 624.0
Deduct 296 from 343 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 478 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6246.0
Subtracting 444 from 478 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6246.4
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6246.45
Deduct 370 from 440 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
700 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6246.459
If we subtract 666 from 700, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6246.4594
Deduct 296 from 340 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6246.45945
If we subtract 370 from 440, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6246.459459
Deduct 666 from 700 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6246.4594594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6246.45945945
If we subtract 370 from 440, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6246.45945945 with a remaining 7e-08.
