531724 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 531724 by 74.

On to step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 531 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 531 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 518 from 531 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 137 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 74 from 137, we get 63.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 632 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 632 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 718.0
If we subtract 592 from 632, we get 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 404 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7185.0
Subtract 370 from 404 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7185.4
If we take 296 away from 340, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7185.45
Subtract 370 from 440 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7185.459
Deduct 666 from 700 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7185.4594
Subtracting 296 from 340 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7185.45945
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 370 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7185.459459
Subtract 666 from 700 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7185.4594594
Subtract 296 from 340 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7185.45945945
Deduct 370 from 440 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7185.45945945, with a leftover of 7e-08.
