We're dividing 987389 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 987389 can be divided by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 74 from 98 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 74

On to step 3:
When dividing 247 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 222 away from 247, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 253 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 253 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtract 222 from 253 to get 31.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 318 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 318 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1334.0
If we take 296 away from 318, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 229 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13343.0
Subtract 222 from 229 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 70 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13343.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13343.09
Deduct 666 from 700 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13343.094
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 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:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13343.0945
If we take 370 away from 440, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13343.09459
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13343.094594
Subtracting 296 from 340 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13343.0945945
If we subtract 370 from 440, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13343.09459459
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13343.09459459, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
