997948 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 997948 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 99 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 can be fit into 257 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 222 from 257 and we're left with 35.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 359 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 359 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 134.0
Deduct 296 from 359 and we're left with 63.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 634 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 can be fit into 634 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1348.0
If we subtract 592 from 634, we get 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 428 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13485.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 370 from 428.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13485.7
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
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 8:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13485.78
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 9:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13485.783
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.

Advancing to step 10:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13485.7837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 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 11:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13485.78378
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.

Step 12:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13485.783783
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 13485.7837837
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
620 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13485.78378378
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13485.78378378 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
