We're dividing 81974 by 5 
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 81974.

On to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 8 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 5 from 8 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 5

Step 2:
5 can be fit into 31 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 30 from 31 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 goes into 19 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 163.0
Subtract 15 from 19 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 5

Let's proceed to step 4:
5 goes into 47 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1639.0
Subtract 45 from 47 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 5

Step 5:
5 can be fit into 24 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16394.0
If we take 20 away from 24, 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.

Moving on to step 6:
5 goes into 40 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16394.8
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16394.8
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16394.8
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16394.8 with a remaining 0.0.
