Let's divide 402901 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 402901 can be divided by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 402 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
402 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 32.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 370 from 402, we get 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 329 4 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 296 from 329.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 330 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 544.0
If we subtract 296 from 330, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 341 / 74

On to step 6:
74 goes into 341 4 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5444.0
Subtracting 296 from 341 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
450 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5444.6
Subtracting 444 from 450 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5444.6
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5444.608
Subtracting 592 from 600 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5444.6081
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5444.6081
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5444.608108
If we subtract 592 from 600, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5444.6081081
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5444.6081081
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5444.6081081 and a remainder of 6e-08.
