971501 ÷ 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 971501.

Advancing to step 1:
74 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 97 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 74

On to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 231 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 222 from 231.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 95 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
95 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 131.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 74 from 95.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 210 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1312.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 148 from 210.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 621 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 621 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13128.0
If we subtract 592 from 621, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 can be fit into 290 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13128.3
If we subtract 222 from 290, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13128.39
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 666 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
140 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13128.391
Subtract 74 from 140 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13128.3918
If we take 592 away from 660, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13128.39189
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 666 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13128.391891
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 74 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13128.3918918
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 592 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 680 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13128.39189189
Subtract 666 from 680 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13128.39189189 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
