Let's divide 196654 by 74
We want to divide 196654 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 19 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 196 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 148 away from 196, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 486 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 444 away from 486, we end up with 42.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 425 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 425 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 265.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 370 from 425.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 554 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 554 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2657.0
Deduct 518 from 554 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2657.4
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2657.48
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2657.486
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 444 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2657.4864
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 11:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2657.48648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2657.486486
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 444 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2657.4864864
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2657.48648648
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2657.48648648 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
