We're dividing 11700538 by 74 
We want to divide 11700538 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 74

Step 2:
The number 74 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 117 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 117 leaves us with 43.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 430 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 370 away from 430, we end up with 60.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 600 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 592 from 600.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1581.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 74 from 85.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 113 / 74

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 113 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15811.0
Subtract 74 from 113 to get 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 74

Step 8:
398 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 158115.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 370 from 398.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158115.3
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 158115.37
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 158115.378
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158115.3783
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158115.37837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158115.378378
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 158115.3783783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158115.37837837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Our division results in 158115.37837837 with a remaining 6.2e-08.
