Let's divide 472888 by 74
Our goal is to divide 472888 by 74.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 472 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
472 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 444 from 472 to get 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 288 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 222 away from 288, we end up with 66.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 668 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 668 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 639.0
Subtracting 666 from 668 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 74

On to step 6:
If we divide 28 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6390.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6390.3
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6390.37
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6390.378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6390.3783
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6390.37837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6390.378378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6390.3783783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6390.37837837
Deduct 518 from 580 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final result is 6390.37837837 with a remainder of 6.2e-08.
