We divide 74157922 by 144
Our goal is to divide 74157922 by 144.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 144, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 144

Step 2:
When dividing 74 by 144, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 741 / 144

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 741 by 144, we get 5 and a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 720 from 741.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 215 / 144

Going ahead to step 4:
144 can be fit into 215 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 144 from 215, we get 71.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 717 / 144

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 717 by 144, we get 4 with a remainder of 141.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 514.0
If we take 576 away from 717, we end up with 141.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 141 and continue: 1419 / 144

Step 6:
1419 divided by 144 is 9 with a remainder of 123.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5149.0
If we subtract 1296 from 1419, we get 123.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 123, then repeat: 1232 / 144

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 1232 by 144, we get 8 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 51498.0
Deduct 1152 from 1232 and we're left with 80.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 802 / 144

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 802 by 144, we get 5 and a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 514985.0
Subtracting 720 from 802 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
144 goes into 820 5 times with a remainder of 100.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 514985.5
The remainder is 100 after subtracting 720 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
1000 divided by 144 is 6 with a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 514985.56
If we take 864 away from 1000, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
144 goes into 1360 9 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 514985.569
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1296 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 640 by 144, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 514985.5694
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
144 can be fit into 640 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 514985.56944
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 514985.56944 with a remainder of 6.4e-05.
