We're dividing 665171 by 74 
We want to divide 665171 by 74.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 66 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 66 leaves us with 66.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 665 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 665 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 592 from 665 leaves us with 73.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 731 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 731 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we take 666 away from 731, we end up with 65.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 657 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 657 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 65.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 898.0
If we take 592 away from 657, we end up with 65.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 651 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 goes into 651 8 times with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8988.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 592 from 651.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 goes into 590 7 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8988.7
If we take 518 away from 590, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8988.79
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
540 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8988.797
If we subtract 518 from 540, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8988.7972
If we take 148 away from 220, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8988.79729
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8988.797297
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8988.7972972
If we take 148 away from 220, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8988.79729729
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8988.79729729 and a remainder of 5.4e-08.
