Let's divide 181956 by 74
We want to divide 181956 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 181 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 181 and we're left with 33.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 339 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
339 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 296 from 339, we get 43.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 435 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 435 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 245.0
Subtract 370 from 435 to get 65.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 656 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 656 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2458.0
Deduct 592 from 656 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2458.8
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2458.86
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 9:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2458.864
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.

On to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2458.8648
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2458.86486
Deduct 444 from 480 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.

On to step 12:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2458.864864
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2458.8648648
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 592 from 640.
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 14:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2458.86486486
Deduct 444 from 480 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2458.86486486 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
