Let's divide 98481 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 98481.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 74 away from 98, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 244 / 74

On to step 3:
244 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 244, we get 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 228 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtracting 222 from 228 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 61 0 times with a remainder of 61.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1330.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
610 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1330.8
If we take 592 away from 610, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1330.82
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 148 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1330.824
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1330.8243
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 180 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1330.82432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1330.824324
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1330.8243243
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1330.82432432
If we take 148 away from 180, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1330.82432432 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
