173927 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 173927 by 74.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 173 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 148 from 173, we get 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 74

On to step 4:
259 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 222 from 259 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 372 / 74

On to step 5:
372 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 235.0
Subtract 370 from 372 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2350.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2350.3
Subtracting 222 from 270 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.

Step 8:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2350.36
If we take 444 away from 480, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2350.364
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2350.3648
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2350.36486
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2350.364864
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2350.3648648
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.

Moving on to step 14:
74 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2350.36486486
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.

The final result is 2350.36486486 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
