Let's divide 120177 by 74
We want to divide 120177 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 12 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 74

On to step 3:
120 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 74 from 120.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 461 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 461 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 444 from 461, we get 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 177 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 29.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162.0
If we take 148 away from 177, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 297 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 297 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1624.0
Subtracting 296 from 297 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
10 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1624.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1624.01
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1624.013
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1624.0135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1624.01351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1624.013513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1624.0135135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1624.01351351
If we subtract 74 from 100, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1624.01351351 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
