161955 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 161955 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 74

On to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 161 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 148 away from 161, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 139 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 74 from 139 and we're left with 65.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 655 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 655 8 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 218.0
Subtracting 592 from 655 leaves us with 63.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 635 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 635 8 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2188.0
Subtracting 592 from 635 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2188.5
If we subtract 370 from 430, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2188.58
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2188.581
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2188.581
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2188.58108
Subtract 592 from 600 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2188.581081
If we take 74 away from 80, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2188.581081
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2188.58108108
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 592 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 2188.58108108 with a remainder of 8e-09.
