12972551 divided by 174 
We want to divide 12972551 by 174.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 174, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 174

Moving on to step 2:
12 divided by 174 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 174

Moving on to step 3:
174 goes into 129 0 times with a remainder of 129.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 129, we end up with 129.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 129 and continue: 1297 / 174

Going ahead to step 4:
1297 divided by 174 is 7 with a remainder of 79.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 1218 from 1297 leaves us with 79.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 79, then carry on: 792 / 174

Step 5:
174 goes into 792 4 times with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 696 away from 792, we end up with 96.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 965 / 174

On to step 6:
If we divide 965 by 174, we get 5 and a remainder of 95.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 745.0
If we take 870 away from 965, we end up with 95.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 95 and repeat the process: 955 / 174

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 955 by 174, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7455.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 870 from 955.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 851 / 174

On to step 8:
The number 174 fits into 851 4 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74554.0
If we take 696 away from 851, we end up with 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 1550 by 174, we get 8 with a remainder of 158.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 74554.8
Subtracting 1392 from 1550 leaves us with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
174 goes into 1580 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74554.89
If we subtract 1566 from 1580, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
140 divided by 174 is 0 with a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 74554.89
Subtracting 0 from 140 leaves us with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 1400 by 174, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 74554.8908
Deduct 1392 from 1400 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
174 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74554.8908
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 174 fits into 800 4 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74554.890804
Subtracting 696 from 800 leaves us with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1040 by 174, we get 5 with a remainder of 170.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74554.8908045
Subtract 870 from 1040 to get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
1700 divided by 174 is 9 with a remainder of 134.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74554.89080459
If we take 1566 away from 1700, we end up with 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 74554.89080459 and a remainder of 1.34e-07.
