Let's divide 12940 by 76
Our goal is to divide 12940 by 76.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 76

Step 2:
The number 76 fits into 12 0 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 76

On to step 3:
76 can be fit into 129 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 76 from 129 and we're left with 53.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 534 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
76 can be fit into 534 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 532 from 534 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 76

Moving on to step 5:
76 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
76 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170.2
If we take 152 away from 200, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
480 divided by 76 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 170.26
If we subtract 456 from 480, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 76, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.263
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 228 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
76 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.2631
Subtracting 76 from 120 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 440 by 76, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170.26315
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 380 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 600 by 76, we get 7 and a remainder of 68.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.263157
Subtracting 532 from 600 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 680 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170.2631578
Deduct 608 from 680 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 76 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170.26315789
If we take 684 away from 720, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 170.26315789, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
