Let's divide 11974 by 14
We want to figure out the number of times 11974 can be divided by 14.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 14, we get 0 with 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.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 14

Going ahead to step 2:
11 divided by 14 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 14

Moving on to step 3:
14 goes into 119 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 112 from 119, we get 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 14

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 14 fits into 77 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 70 from 77 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 14

On to step 5:
When dividing 74 by 14, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 855.0
If we subtract 70 from 74, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
14 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 855.2
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 28 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
14 can be fit into 120 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 855.28
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 14, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 855.285
If we subtract 70 from 80, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 100 by 14, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 855.2857
If we subtract 98 from 100, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 14, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 855.28571
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left 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 11:
If we divide 60 by 14, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 855.285714
If we take 56 away from 60, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
14 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 855.2857142
Subtract 28 from 40 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
14 can be fit into 120 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 855.28571428
Deduct 112 from 120 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 855.28571428 with a balance of 8e-09.
