Let's divide 127787 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 127787 can be divided by 74.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 74

Step 3:
74 can be fit into 127 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 127, we get 53.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 537 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 can be fit into 537 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 518 away from 537, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
198 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtracting 148 from 198 leaves us with 50.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 507 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 goes into 507 6 times with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1726.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 444 from 507.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
74 can be fit into 630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1726.8
If we subtract 592 from 630, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1726.85
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1726.851
If we subtract 74 from 100, we 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:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1726.8513
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:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1726.85135
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1726.851351
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.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1726.8513513
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1726.85135135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 1726.85135135 and a remainder of 1e-08.
