173243 divided by 74 
We want to divide 173243 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 173 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 173 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 148 away from 173, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 74

Step 4:
252 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 30.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 222 from 252.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 304 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 234.0
Deduct 296 from 304 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 83 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2341.0
If we take 74 away from 83, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2341.1
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 74 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2341.12
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2341.121
Deduct 74 from 120 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2341.1216
Deduct 444 from 460 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 2341.12162
Deduct 148 from 160 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2341.121621
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2341.1216216
Deduct 444 from 460 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
160 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2341.12162162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2341.12162162 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
