We divide 872257 by 74
Our goal is to divide 872257 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 74

On to step 2:
74 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 87, we get 13.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 132 1 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 74 from 132 and we're left with 58.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 582 / 74

Step 4:
582 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtract 518 from 582 to get 64.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 645 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 645 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 53.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1178.0
If we take 592 away from 645, we end up with 53.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 537 / 74

On to step 6:
537 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11787.0
Deduct 518 from 537 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
190 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11787.2
Subtract 148 from 190 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11787.25
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 370 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11787.256
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11787.2567
Subtract 518 from 560 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11787.25675
Deduct 370 from 420 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11787.256756
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11787.2567567
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11787.25675675
Subtracting 370 from 420 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11787.25675675 and a remainder of 5e-08.
