We divide 74494 by 6
We want to figure out the number of times 74494 can be divided by 6.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 6, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 6

Step 2:
When dividing 14 by 6, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 6

Advancing to step 3:
The number 6 fits into 24 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 6, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1241.0
Deduct 6 from 9 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 6

Step 5:
34 divided by 6 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12415.0
If we subtract 30 from 34, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
6 goes into 40 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12415.6
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12415.66
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12415.66, and the remainder is 0.004.
