Let's divide 854239 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 854239 can be divided by 74.

On to step 1:
74 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
85 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 85, we get 11.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 114 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 114 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 74 away from 114, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 402 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we subtract 370 from 402, we get 32.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 323 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 323 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1154.0
Subtract 296 from 323 to get 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11543.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 222 from 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11543.7
Deduct 518 from 570 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11543.77
Deduct 518 from 520 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11543.77 with a balance of 0.002.
