Let's divide 43901 by 74
Our goal is to divide 43901 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 43 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
439 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 69.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 370 from 439 leaves us with 69.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 690 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 690 9 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 666 from 690.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 241 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 241 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 593.0
If we subtract 222 from 241, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 593.2
If we subtract 148 from 190, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 593.25
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 593.256
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 593.2567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 593.25675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 593.256756
If we subtract 444 from 500, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 593.2567567
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 518 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 420 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 593.25675675
Subtracting 370 from 420 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 593.25675675, and the remainder is 5e-08.
