1162872 ÷ 746 
Our goal is to divide 1162872 by 746.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 746, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 746

Going ahead to step 2:
746 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 116 / 746

On to step 3:
746 can be fit into 116 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 116, we end up with 116.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 116, then repeat: 1162 / 746

Going ahead to step 4:
1162 divided by 746 is 1 with a remainder of 416.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 746 from 1162, we get 416.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 416, then repeat: 4168 / 746

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 4168 by 746, we get 5 and a remainder of 438.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 3730 from 4168 leaves us with 438.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 438, then carry on: 4387 / 746

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 4387 by 746, we get 5 and a remainder of 657.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 3730 from 4387, we get 657.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 657 and continue with: 6572 / 746

Advancing to step 7:
The number 746 fits into 6572 8 times, leaving a remainder of 604.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.0
Subtracting 5968 from 6572 leaves us with 604.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
746 can be fit into 6040 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1558.8
Subtracting 5968 from 6040 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
746 can be fit into 720 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 720.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1558.8
If we take 0 away from 720, we end up with 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
746 goes into 7200 9 times with a remainder of 486.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1558.809
Subtracting 6714 from 7200 leaves us with 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
746 goes into 4860 6 times with a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1558.8096
Deduct 4476 from 4860 and we're left with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
3840 divided by 746 is 5 with a remainder of 110.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1558.80965
If we take 3730 away from 3840, we end up with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
746 can be fit into 1100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 354.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1558.809651
If we take 746 away from 1100, we end up with 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
3540 divided by 746 is 4 with a remainder of 556.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1558.8096514
The remainder is 556 after subtracting 2984 from 3540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 5560 by 746, we get 7 with a remainder of 338.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1558.80965147
If we take 5222 away from 5560, we end up with 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1558.80965147 and a remainder of 3.38e-07.
