Let's divide 971498 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 971498.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 97 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
231 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 231, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 94 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtracting 74 from 94 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 209 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
209 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1312.0
If we subtract 148 from 209, we get 61.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 618 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 can be fit into 618 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13128.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 592 from 618.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13128.3
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 380 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13128.35
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 9:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13128.351
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us 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 10:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13128.3513
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us 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 11:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13128.35135
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.

Moving on to step 12:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13128.351351
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 13:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13128.3513513
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13128.35135135
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.

After the division, we end up with 13128.35135135 and a remainder of 1e-08.
