Let's divide 323971 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 323971 can be divided by 74.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 32 0 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 32, we get 32.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 323 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 323 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 296 from 323 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 279 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 222 from 279.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 577 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 577 7 times with a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 437.0
If we take 518 away from 577, we end up with 59.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 591 / 74

Step 6:
When dividing 591 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 73.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4377.0
Subtract 518 from 591 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 730 9 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4377.9
If we subtract 666 from 730, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4377.98
Subtracting 592 from 640 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4377.986
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4377.9864
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 296 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 11:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4377.98648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4377.986486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4377.9864864
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4377.98648648
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4377.98648648, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
