Let's divide 166402 by 74
Our goal is to divide 166402 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 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
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 74

On to step 3:
If we divide 166 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 148 from 166 to get 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 184 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 148 from 184 and we're left with 36.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 360 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us with 64.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 642 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 642 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 50.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2248.0
If we take 592 away from 642, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2248.6
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2248.67
If we take 518 away from 560, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2248.675
Deduct 370 from 420 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2248.6756
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 560 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2248.67567
Deduct 518 from 560 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2248.675675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2248.6756756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2248.67567567
Subtract 518 from 560 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2248.67567567, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
