We're dividing 977482 by 74 
We want to divide 977482 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 97 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 74

On to step 3:
When dividing 237 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 222 away from 237, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 154 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we take 148 away from 154, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 68 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1320.0
Deduct 0 from 68 and we're left with 68.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 682 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 682 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13209.0
Deduct 666 from 682 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
74 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13209.2
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13209.21
Deduct 74 from 120 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 74 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13209.216
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13209.2162
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13209.21621
Deduct 74 from 120 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 460 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13209.216216
Deduct 444 from 460 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13209.2162162
Deduct 148 from 160 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13209.21621621
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13209.21621621 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
