Let's divide 638929 by 74
We want to divide 638929 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 63 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 63 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 63, we end up with 63.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 638 / 74

On to step 3:
When dividing 638 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 592 from 638 and we're left with 46.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 469 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 469 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 444 away from 469, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 252 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 863.0
Subtract 222 from 252 to get 30.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 309 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 309 4 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8634.0
Subtracting 296 from 309 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 130 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 56.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8634.1
If we take 74 away from 130, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8634.17
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 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 9:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8634.175
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8634.1756
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8634.17567
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 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 12:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8634.175675
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.

Advancing to step 13:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8634.1756756
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8634.17567567
Deduct 518 from 560 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8634.17567567, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
