Let's divide 372439 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 372439 can be divided by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 372 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 372 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 370 from 372 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 243 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 243 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 503.0
Deduct 222 from 243 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 219 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 71.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5032.0
If we subtract 148 from 219, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
710 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5032.9
Subtract 666 from 710 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5032.95
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5032.959
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
74 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5032.9594
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5032.95945
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5032.959459
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5032.9594594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
74 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5032.95945945
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.

Our division results in 5032.95945945 with a remaining 7e-08.
