Let's divide 517698 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 517698.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 517 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 517 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 444 from 517 leaves us with 73.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 736 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 can be fit into 736 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtract 666 from 736 to get 70.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 709 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 709 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 699.0
Subtract 666 from 709 to get 43.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 438 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 438 5 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6995.0
Deduct 370 from 438 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6995.9
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6995.91
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 9:
When dividing 660 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6995.918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6995.9189
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.

Step 11:
140 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6995.91891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6995.918918
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 13:
When dividing 680 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6995.9189189
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6995.91891891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6995.91891891 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
