160856 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 160856 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
74 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 74

On to step 2:
16 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 160 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 148 away from 160, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 can be fit into 128 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 74 from 128, we get 54.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 545 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 545 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217.0
Deduct 518 from 545 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 276 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 276 3 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2173.0
Subtracting 222 from 276 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 540 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2173.7
If we take 518 away from 540, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2173.72
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2173.729
If we take 666 away from 720, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 540 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2173.7297
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2173.72972
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2173.729729
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 666 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2173.7297297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 220 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2173.72972972
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left 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.

The final result is 2173.72972972 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
