160786 ÷ 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 160786.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 74

Step 2:
The number 74 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 160 / 74

On to step 3:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 160 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 127 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 74 from 127.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 538 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 538 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
Deduct 518 from 538 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 206 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2172.0
Subtract 148 from 206 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2172.7
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2172.78
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2172.783
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2172.7837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2172.78378
Subtracting 592 from 620 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
280 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2172.783783
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2172.7837837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2172.78378378
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 592 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2172.78378378, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
