We're dividing 535438 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 535438 can be divided by 74.

On to step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 53, we end up with 53.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 535 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 535 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 518 from 535, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 174 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 148 from 174.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 263 / 74

Step 5:
If we divide 263 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 723.0
Deduct 222 from 263 and we're left with 41.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 418 5 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7235.0
If we take 370 away from 418, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7235.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7235.64
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us 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 9:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7235.648
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7235.6486
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7235.64864
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
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 12:
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: 7235.648648
Subtract 592 from 640 to 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.

On to step 13:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7235.6486486
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7235.64864864
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 7235.64864864, with a leftover of 6.4e-08.
