11870 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 11870 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
11 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 118 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 74 from 118.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 447 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 can be fit into 447 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 444 away from 447, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, 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.

On to step 6:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.4
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.4
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.405
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 370 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160.4054
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.4054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Step 11:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.405405
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.

On to step 12:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.4054054
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.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.4054054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 160.4054054 with a balance of 4e-08.
