We look at the division of 637242 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 637242 can be divided by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
63 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 63 to get 63.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 637 / 74

Step 3:
When dividing 637 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 592 from 637 leaves us with 45.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 452 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
452 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 444 away from 452, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 74

Step 5:
84 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 861.0
Subtract 74 from 84 to get 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 102 1 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8611.0
If we take 74 away from 102, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8611.3
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8611.37
Subtract 518 from 580 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
620 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8611.378
Subtracting 592 from 620 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8611.3783
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8611.37837
Subtract 518 from 580 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8611.378378
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8611.3783783
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8611.37837837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final result is 8611.37837837 with a remainder of 6.2e-08.
