We look at the division of 137781 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 137781.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
13 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 137 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 137 leaves us with 63.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 637 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 637 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 592 from 637, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 458 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 458 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtract 444 from 458 to get 14.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 141 1 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1861.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 74 from 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 670 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1861.9
If we subtract 666 from 670, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1861.9
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1861.905
Subtract 370 from 400 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1861.9054
If we take 296 away from 300, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1861.9054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1861.905405
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1861.9054054
If we take 296 away from 300, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1861.9054054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1861.9054054, and the remainder is 4e-08.
