We're dividing 74755921 by 872 
Our goal is to divide 74755921 by 872.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 872 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 872

Step 2:
The number 872 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 74 leaves us with 74.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 747 / 872

Let's proceed to step 3:
872 can be fit into 747 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 747.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 747 to get 747.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 747, then repeat: 7475 / 872

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 7475 by 872, we get 8 with a remainder of 499.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 499 after subtracting 6976 from 7475.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 499, then repeat: 4995 / 872

Let's proceed to step 5:
4995 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 635.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 4360 away from 4995, we end up with 635.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 635, then repeat: 6359 / 872

Moving on to step 6:
The number 872 fits into 6359 7 times, leaving a remainder of 255.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 857.0
Deduct 6104 from 6359 and we're left with 255.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 255, then repeat: 2552 / 872

Step 7:
872 can be fit into 2552 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 808.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8572.0
If we take 1744 away from 2552, we end up with 808.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 808, then repeat: 8081 / 872

Going ahead to step 8:
8081 divided by 872 is 9 with a remainder of 233.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85729.0
Deduct 7848 from 8081 and we're left with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
872 can be fit into 2330 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 586.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85729.2
Subtract 1744 from 2330 to get 586.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
872 goes into 5860 6 times with a remainder of 628.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85729.26
Subtracting 5232 from 5860 leaves us with 628.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 872 fits into 6280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 176.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 85729.267
The remainder is 176 after subtracting 6104 from 6280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
872 goes into 1760 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85729.2672
Subtracting 1744 from 1760 leaves us 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 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 85729.2672
The remainder is 160 after subtracting 0 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 1600 by 872, we get 1 with a remainder of 728.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85729.267201
Subtracting 872 from 1600 leaves us with 728.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 7280 by 872, we get 8 with a remainder of 304.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85729.2672018
If we take 6976 away from 7280, we end up with 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
872 goes into 3040 3 times with a remainder of 424.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85729.26720183
Subtract 2616 from 3040 to get 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 85729.26720183 with a balance of 4.24e-07.
