Let's divide 888642 by 74
Our goal is to divide 888642 by 74.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 88, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 148 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 148 from 148 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 64 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 64.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1200.0
If we subtract 0 from 64, we get 64.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 642 / 74

Step 6:
If we divide 642 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12008.0
Subtracting 592 from 642 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 12008.6
Subtracting 444 from 500 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 560 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12008.67
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12008.675
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 370 from 420.
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 10:
74 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12008.6756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12008.67567
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.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12008.675675
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 13:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12008.6756756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
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 14:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12008.67567567
Subtract 518 from 560 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 12008.67567567 and a remainder of 4.2e-08.
