Let's divide 74857731 by 983
We're looking to find how many times 983 goes into 74857731.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 983, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 983

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 983, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 74 and we're left with 74.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 748 / 983

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 748 by 983, we get 0 and a remainder of 748.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 748 and we're left with 748.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 748 and repeat the process: 7485 / 983

On to step 4:
The number 983 fits into 7485 7 times, leaving a remainder of 604.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 6881 from 7485 and we're left with 604.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 604 and continue with: 6047 / 983

On to step 5:
983 can be fit into 6047 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 149.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we subtract 5898 from 6047, we get 149.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 149, then carry on: 1497 / 983

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 1497 by 983, we get 1 and a remainder of 514.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 761.0
Subtracting 983 from 1497 leaves us with 514.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 514 and continue: 5143 / 983

On to step 7:
When dividing 5143 by 983, we get 5 with a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7615.0
Subtract 4915 from 5143 to get 228.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 228 and repeat the process: 2281 / 983

Step 8:
983 goes into 2281 2 times with a remainder of 315.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76152.0
If we take 1966 away from 2281, we end up with 315.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
983 can be fit into 3150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 201.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76152.3
The remainder is 201 after subtracting 2949 from 3150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2010, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 2010 by 983, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76152.32
Subtracting 1966 from 2010 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
440 divided by 983 is 0 with a remainder of 440.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76152.32
If we subtract 0 from 440, we get 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
4400 divided by 983 is 4 with a remainder of 468.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 76152.3204
Deduct 3932 from 4400 and we're left with 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
983 can be fit into 4680 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 748.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76152.32044
Subtract 3932 from 4680 to get 748.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 76152.32044 and a remainder of 0.000748.
