Let's divide 5811 by 74
Our goal is to divide 5811 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 58, we get 58.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 581 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 581 7 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 518 from 581 and we're left with 63.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 631 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 631 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 592 from 631.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78.5
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 370 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 200 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 78.52
If we subtract 148 from 200, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78.527
If we take 518 away from 520, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78.527
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78.52702
Subtracting 148 from 200 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.527027
Subtract 518 from 520 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 74 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.527027
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.52702702
Subtracting 148 from 200 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 78.52702702 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
