46609 ÷ 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 46609 can be divided by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 74

Step 2:
74 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 466 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 can be fit into 466 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 444 from 466 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 220 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 729 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 63.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 629.0
Deduct 666 from 729 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 630 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 629.8
Deduct 592 from 630 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 629.85
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 629.851
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 629.8513
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 629.85135
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 629.851351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 629.8513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 629.85135135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 629.85135135 with a remaining 1e-08.
