Let's divide 983464 by 74
We want to divide 983464 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 98 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 98 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 243 / 74

Step 3:
When dividing 243 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 222 from 243.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 214 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 214 2 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we take 148 away from 214, we end up with 66.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 666 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
666 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1329.0
If we take 666 away from 666, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
4 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13290.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13290.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13290.05
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13290.054
If we subtract 296 from 300, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13290.054
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13290.05405
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13290.054054
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 296 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13290.054054
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13290.05405405
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 370 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13290.05405405, with a leftover of 3e-08.
