We're dividing 74142916 by 988 
We want to figure out the number of times 74142916 can be divided by 988.

Moving on to step 1:
988 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 988

Step 2:
74 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 741 / 988

Step 3:
988 can be fit into 741 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 741.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 741, we end up with 741.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 741 and repeat the process: 7414 / 988

Let's proceed to step 4:
7414 divided by 988 is 7 with a remainder of 498.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 6916 from 7414 leaves us with 498.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 498 and continue with: 4982 / 988

Going ahead to step 5:
988 goes into 4982 5 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 75.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 4940 from 4982.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 429 / 988

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 429 by 988, we get 0 with a remainder of 429.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 750.0
Subtracting 0 from 429 leaves us with 429.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 429, then repeat: 4291 / 988

Let's proceed to step 7:
988 goes into 4291 4 times with a remainder of 339.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7504.0
If we subtract 3952 from 4291, we get 339.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 339, then carry on: 3396 / 988

Advancing to step 8:
The number 988 fits into 3396 3 times, leaving a remainder of 432.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 75043.0
Deduct 2964 from 3396 and we're left with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 4320 by 988, we get 4 and a remainder of 368.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75043.4
Subtract 3952 from 4320 to get 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 988 fits into 3680 3 times, leaving a remainder of 716.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75043.43
The remainder is 716 after subtracting 2964 from 3680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
988 can be fit into 7160 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 244.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75043.437
If we take 6916 away from 7160, we end up with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
988 can be fit into 2440 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 464.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75043.4372
If we subtract 1976 from 2440, we get 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
4640 divided by 988 is 4 with a remainder of 688.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75043.43724
Subtract 3952 from 4640 to get 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 988 fits into 6880 6 times, leaving a remainder of 952.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75043.437246
Subtract 5928 from 6880 to get 952.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 9520 by 988, we get 9 with a remainder of 628.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75043.4372469
If we subtract 8892 from 9520, we get 628.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
988 goes into 6280 6 times with a remainder of 352.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 75043.43724696
If we subtract 5928 from 6280, we get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 75043.43724696 with a balance of 3.52e-07.
