We're dividing 870938 by 74 
We want to divide 870938 by 74.

On to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 74 from 87.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 130 / 74

Step 3:
74 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 74 from 130.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 569 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 569 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtracting 518 from 569 leaves us with 51.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 513 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 513 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1176.0
Deduct 444 from 513 and we're left with 69.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 698 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 698 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11769.0
If we take 666 away from 698, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11769.4
Deduct 296 from 320 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11769.43
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11769.432
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11769.4324
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 296 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11769.43243
If we take 222 away from 240, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11769.432432
Subtract 148 from 180 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
74 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11769.4324324
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 296 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11769.43243243
Subtract 222 from 240 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11769.43243243, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
