We divide 12144885 by 164
We want to divide 12144885 by 164.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 164, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 164

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 164, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 121 / 164

On to step 3:
164 goes into 121 0 times with a remainder of 121.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 121 to get 121.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 121 and continue with: 1214 / 164

Let's proceed to step 4:
164 goes into 1214 7 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 1148 away from 1214, we end up with 66.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 664 / 164

Let's proceed to step 5:
164 can be fit into 664 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we subtract 656 from 664, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 164

Step 6:
When dividing 88 by 164, we get 0 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 740.0
Subtract 0 from 88 to get 88.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 88 and continue with: 888 / 164

Advancing to step 7:
164 can be fit into 888 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7405.0
Subtract 820 from 888 to get 68.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 685 / 164

Step 8:
685 divided by 164 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74054.0
If we take 656 away from 685, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
164 can be fit into 290 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74054.1
If we subtract 164 from 290, we get 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
164 can be fit into 1260 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74054.17
Deduct 1148 from 1260 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1120 by 164, we get 6 with a remainder of 136.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74054.176
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 984 from 1120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 1360 by 164, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74054.1768
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 1312 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
164 goes into 480 2 times with a remainder of 152.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74054.17682
Subtracting 328 from 480 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 14:
164 goes into 1520 9 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74054.176829
Deduct 1476 from 1520 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 164 fits into 440 2 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74054.1768292
If we take 328 away from 440, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 164 fits into 1120 6 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74054.17682926
If we subtract 984 from 1120, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 74054.17682926 with a balance of 1.36e-07.
