We're dividing 87234 by 74 
We want to divide 87234 by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 87 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 87 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 132 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 132 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 58.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 74 from 132 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 583 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
583 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 518 away from 583, we end up with 65.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 654 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 654 8 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1178.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 592 from 654.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1178.8
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1178.83
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1178.837
Deduct 518 from 580 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1178.8378
Subtracting 592 from 620 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1178.83783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1178.837837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1178.8378378
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1178.83783783
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1178.83783783, with a leftover of 5.8e-08.
