Let's divide 977786 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 977786 can be divided by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 97, we get 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
237 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 237, we get 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 can be fit into 157 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 132.0
Subtract 148 from 157 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1321.0
Subtracting 74 from 98 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 246 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13213.0
Subtract 222 from 246 to get 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 7:
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: 13213.3
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13213.32
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13213.324
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
240 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13213.3243
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.

On to step 11:
74 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13213.32432
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13213.324324
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13213.3243243
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13213.32432432
If we subtract 148 from 180, we 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.

The final result is 13213.32432432 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
