We're dividing 696951 by 74 
We want to divide 696951 by 74.

On to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 69 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 69 to get 69.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 696 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 goes into 696 9 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 666 from 696 to get 30.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 309 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 can be fit into 309 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Deduct 296 from 309 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 135 / 74

Step 5:
If we divide 135 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 941.0
If we take 74 away from 135, we end up with 61.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 611 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
611 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9418.0
Subtracting 592 from 611 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9418.2
If we take 148 away from 190, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9418.25
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9418.256
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9418.2567
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9418.25675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9418.256756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9418.2567567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9418.25675675
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9418.25675675 with a balance of 5e-08.
