Let's divide 876473 by 74
We want to divide 876473 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 74 from 87 to get 13.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 136 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 136 1 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 74 away from 136, we end up with 62.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 624 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 624 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we take 592 away from 624, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 327 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1184.0
Subtract 296 from 327 to get 31.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 313 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 can be fit into 313 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11844.0
Deduct 296 from 313 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11844.2
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 148 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11844.22
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11844.22 with a remaining 0.072.
