Let's divide 118459 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 118459.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 118 1 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 74 from 118.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 444 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 444 from 444, we get 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
5 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 59 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1600.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 74 fits into 590 7 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1600.7
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 518 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1600.79
Subtract 666 from 720 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1600.797
Subtract 518 from 540 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1600.7972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 720 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1600.79729
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1600.797297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1600.7972972
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 14:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1600.79729729
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1600.79729729 and a remainder of 5.4e-08.
