We divide 508740 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 508740 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 508 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 508 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 444 away from 508, we end up with 64.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 647 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
647 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtracting 592 from 647 leaves us with 55.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 554 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 687.0
Subtract 518 from 554 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 360 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6874.0
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6874.8
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6874.86
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6874.864
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6874.8648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6874.86486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6874.864864
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6874.8648648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6874.86486486
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6874.86486486 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
