We divide 131672 by 74
We want to divide 131672 by 74.

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
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 74

Step 2:
When dividing 13 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 13.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 131 1 times with a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 74 from 131 to get 57.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 576 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 goes into 576 7 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 518 from 576 to get 58.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 587 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 587 7 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
If we subtract 518 from 587, we get 69.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 692 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
692 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1779.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 666 from 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1779.3
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1779.35
If we subtract 370 from 380, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1779.351
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1779.3513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1779.35135
Subtracting 370 from 380 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1779.351351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1779.3513513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1779.35135135
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 1779.35135135 with a remainder of 1e-08.
