142163 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 142163 by 74.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 142 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 142 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 142 leaves us with 68.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 681 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
681 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 666 away from 681, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
156 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 192.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 148 from 156.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 83 / 74

On to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 83 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1921.0
Subtracting 74 from 83 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1921.1
Subtracting 74 from 90 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1921.12
Deduct 148 from 160 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1921.121
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 74 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1921.1216
If we take 444 away from 460, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1921.12162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1921.121621
Deduct 74 from 120 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1921.1216216
If we take 444 away from 460, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1921.12162162
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1921.12162162 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
