We divide 73874098 by 971
We want to figure out the number of times 73874098 can be divided by 971.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 971 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 971

Step 2:
971 goes into 73 0 times with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 738 / 971

Advancing to step 3:
971 goes into 738 0 times with a remainder of 738.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 738 and we're left with 738.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 738 and continue: 7387 / 971

Advancing to step 4:
7387 divided by 971 is 7 with a remainder of 590.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 590 after subtracting 6797 from 7387.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 590 and continue: 5904 / 971

Moving on to step 5:
5904 divided by 971 is 6 with a remainder of 78.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we subtract 5826 from 5904, we get 78.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 780 / 971

Step 6:
780 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 780.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 760.0
The remainder is 780 after subtracting 0 from 780.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 780 and repeat the process: 7809 / 971

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 7809 by 971, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7608.0
Deduct 7768 from 7809 and we're left with 41.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 971

Let's proceed to step 8:
971 can be fit into 418 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 418.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76080.0
Subtract 0 from 418 to get 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
4180 divided by 971 is 4 with a remainder of 296.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76080.4
If we subtract 3884 from 4180, we get 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
2960 divided by 971 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76080.43
If we take 2913 away from 2960, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
470 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 470.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 76080.43
The remainder is 470 after subtracting 0 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4700, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
971 goes into 4700 4 times with a remainder of 816.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 76080.4304
If we subtract 3884 from 4700, we get 816.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 971 fits into 8160 8 times, leaving a remainder of 392.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76080.43048
Deduct 7768 from 8160 and we're left with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 3920 by 971, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76080.430484
Subtract 3884 from 3920 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 360 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 360.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76080.430484
If we take 0 away from 360, we end up with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
971 can be fit into 3600 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 687.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76080.43048403
If we take 2913 away from 3600, we end up with 687.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6870, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 76080.43048403 with a balance of 6.87e-07.
