We divide 165417 by 74
Our goal is to divide 165417 by 74.

On to step 1:
74 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 165 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 165 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 148 from 165 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 174 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 148 from 174.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
261 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 223.0
Subtract 222 from 261 to get 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 397 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 397 5 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2235.0
If we subtract 370 from 397, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 48.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2235.3
If we subtract 222 from 270, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2235.36
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2235.364
If we subtract 296 from 360, we 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.

Step 10:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2235.3648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2235.36486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2235.364864
If we take 296 away from 360, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2235.3648648
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2235.36486486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 2235.36486486 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
