Let's divide 971697 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 971697.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 74 away from 97, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 231 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 222 from 231 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 96 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131.0
Deduct 74 from 96 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
229 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1313.0
If we take 222 away from 229, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 goes into 77 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13131.0
Subtract 74 from 77 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13131.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13131.04
If we take 296 away from 300, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13131.04
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13131.0405
If we subtract 370 from 400, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13131.04054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13131.04054
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13131.0405405
Subtract 370 from 400 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13131.04054054
If we subtract 296 from 300, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13131.04054054 and a remainder of 4e-09.
