We're dividing 72916 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 72916.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 74

Step 2:
74 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 goes into 729 9 times with a remainder of 63.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 666 from 729 to get 63.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 631 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 goes into 631 8 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 592 from 631, we get 39.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 396 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 396 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 985.0
Subtract 370 from 396 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 985.3
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 985.35
Subtracting 370 from 380 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 985.351
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 985.3513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 985.35135
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 985.351351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 985.3513513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 985.35135135
If we subtract 370 from 380, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 985.35135135 with a balance of 1e-08.
