We're dividing 508294 by 74 
We want to divide 508294 by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 508 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 508 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 444 away from 508, we end up with 64.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 642 / 74

Step 4:
642 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 50.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 592 from 642.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 509 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 509 6 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 686.0
If we subtract 444 from 509, we get 65.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 654 / 74

On to step 6:
74 goes into 654 8 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6868.0
Subtracting 592 from 654 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6868.8
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 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 8:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6868.83
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 9:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6868.837
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6868.8378
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6868.83783
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.

On to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6868.837837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6868.8378378
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6868.83783783
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.

The final result is 6868.83783783 with a remainder of 5.8e-08.
