Let's divide 159324 by 74
We want to divide 159324 by 74.

On to step 1:
74 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 74

Step 3:
74 can be fit into 159 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 159 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 113 / 74

Step 4:
113 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 74 from 113.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 392 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 can be fit into 392 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 215.0
If we take 370 away from 392, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 224 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2153.0
If we subtract 222 from 224, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2153.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 8:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2153.02
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2153.027
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2153.027
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2153.02702
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 148 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 520 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2153.027027
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2153.027027
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2153.02702702
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.

The quotient of the division is 2153.02702702, and the remainder is 5.2e-08.
