We divide 400561 by 74
We want to divide 400561 by 74.

On to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 400 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 400 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 305 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 296 from 305 to get 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 96 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 541.0
If we take 74 away from 96, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
221 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 73.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5412.0
Subtract 148 from 221 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 can be fit into 730 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5412.9
Deduct 666 from 730 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 8:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5412.98
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5412.986
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 444 from 480.
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 10:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5412.9864
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5412.98648
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.

Step 12:
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: 5412.986486
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 13:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5412.9864864
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.

On to step 14:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5412.98648648
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.

The final outcome is 5412.98648648, with a leftover of 4.8e-08.
