Let's divide 562741 by 74
We want to divide 562741 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 56 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 0 from 56.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 562 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 can be fit into 562 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 518 from 562 and we're left with 44.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 447 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
447 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtract 444 from 447 to get 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 760.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 341 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 341 4 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7604.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 296 from 341.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7604.6
Deduct 444 from 450 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7604.6
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7604.608
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7604.6081
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7604.6081
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7604.608108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7604.6081081
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7604.6081081
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7604.6081081 with a remaining 6e-08.
