Let's divide 83701 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 83701.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 74

Step 2:
When dividing 83 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 74 from 83.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 74

Step 3:
74 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 74 from 97 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 230 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtracting 222 from 230 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1131.0
Deduct 74 from 81 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 70 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1131.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1131.09
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1131.094
If we take 296 away from 340, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1131.0945
If we subtract 370 from 440, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1131.09459
If we take 666 away from 700, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1131.094594
Deduct 296 from 340 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1131.0945945
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 370 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1131.09459459
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1131.09459459 with a balance of 3.4e-08.
