We're dividing 161492 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 161492.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 161 / 74

On to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 161 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 161 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 134 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 60.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 74 from 134.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 609 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 609 8 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 218.0
Deduct 592 from 609 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 172 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2182.0
If we take 148 away from 172, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
74 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2182.3
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2182.32
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 148 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2182.324
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2182.3243
Subtract 222 from 240 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2182.32432
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2182.324324
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2182.3243243
Subtracting 222 from 240 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2182.32432432
If we subtract 148 from 180, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2182.32432432 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
