74940 ÷ 15 
We want to figure out the number of times 74940 can be divided by 15.

Advancing to step 1:
15 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 15

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 15, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 60 from 74, we get 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 15

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 149 by 15, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 135 from 149.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 15

On to step 4:
If we divide 144 by 15, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 499.0
Subtract 135 from 144 to get 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 15

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 15 fits into 90 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4996.0
If we take 90 away from 90, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
15 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4996.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 15 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4996.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4996.0 with a balance of 0.0.
