642746 divided by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 642746.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 74

On to step 2:
64 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 64 leaves us with 64.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 642 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 642 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 592 from 642 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 507 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 507 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we subtract 444 from 507, we get 63.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 634 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
74 can be fit into 634 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 868.0
Subtracting 592 from 634 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 426 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 426 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8685.0
Subtract 370 from 426 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 560 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8685.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 8685.75
Subtracting 370 from 420 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.

Advancing to step 9:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8685.756
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 10:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8685.7567
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8685.75675
If we subtract 370 from 420, 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8685.756756
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up 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.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8685.7567567
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 518 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8685.75675675
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.

The quotient of the division is 8685.75675675, and the remainder is 5e-08.
