We're dividing 986992 by 74 
We want to divide 986992 by 74.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 74 away from 98, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 246 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 246, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 249 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtracting 222 from 249 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
279 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1333.0
If we subtract 222 from 279, we get 57.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 572 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
572 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13337.0
If we take 518 away from 572, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13337.7
If we take 518 away from 540, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13337.72
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 720 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13337.729
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13337.7297
If we subtract 518 from 540, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13337.72972
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13337.729729
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 666 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13337.7297297
Subtract 518 from 540 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13337.72972972
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13337.72972972, with a leftover of 7.2e-08.
