We look at the division of 157427 by 74 
We want to divide 157427 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
15 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 can be fit into 157 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 148 from 157 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 94 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 74 from 94.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 202 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 202 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 148 from 202.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 547 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
547 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2127.0
If we take 518 away from 547, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
290 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2127.3
If we subtract 222 from 290, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2127.39
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 666 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
140 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2127.391
If we take 74 away from 140, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2127.3918
Subtract 592 from 660 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2127.39189
Subtract 666 from 680 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2127.391891
Subtracting 74 from 140 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2127.3918918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2127.39189189
Subtract 666 from 680 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2127.39189189 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
