We look at the division of 654609 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 654609.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
65 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 65.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 65 and we're left with 65.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 654 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 can be fit into 654 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 592 away from 654, we end up with 62.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 626 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 626 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 592 from 626 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 340 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 884.0
Subtract 296 from 340 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 449 / 74

On to step 6:
449 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8846.0
Subtracting 444 from 449 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
50 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8846.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, 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 8:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8846.06
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 9:
The number 74 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8846.067
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.

Advancing to step 10:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8846.0675
Deduct 370 from 420 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8846.06756
Subtract 444 from 500 to 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.

Step 12:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8846.067567
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8846.0675675
Deduct 370 from 420 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8846.06756756
Subtract 444 from 500 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8846.06756756 with a balance of 5.6e-08.
