Solve the Division Problem: Calculate 74:8

$74:8=$

In order to simplify the resolution process, we begin by breaking down the number 74 into a smaller addition exercise with numbers divisible by 8:

$(72+2):8=$

We then divide each of the terms within the parentheses by 8:

$(\frac{72}{8})+(\frac{2}{8})=$

We solve each of the exercises inside of the parentheses:

$9+\frac{2}{8}=$

Lastly we reduce the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 2:

$9+\frac{1}{4}=9\frac{1}{4}$
