We look at the division of 12097 by 74 
We want to divide 12097 by 74.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 120 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 469 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 469 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 444 from 469, we get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
257 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 163.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 222 from 257.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
350 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 163.4
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 296 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 163.47
If we subtract 518 from 540, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163.472
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.

Step 9:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 163.4729
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left 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:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163.47297
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 163.472972
If we subtract 148 from 220, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 163.4729729
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 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 13:
540 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 163.47297297
