985899 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 985899 by 74.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 74

Step 2:
74 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 74 from 98.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
245 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 222 away from 245, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 238 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 133.0
If we take 222 away from 238, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
169 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1332.0
If we take 148 away from 169, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 219 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13322.0
If we take 148 away from 219, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 can be fit into 710 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13322.9
Deduct 666 from 710 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 8:
The number 74 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13322.95
Deduct 370 from 440 and we're left with 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 9:
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: 13322.959
Subtract 666 from 700 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
74 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13322.9594
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13322.95945
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13322.959459
If we subtract 666 from 700, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13322.9594594
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13322.95945945
Subtracting 370 from 440 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final result is 13322.95945945 with a remainder of 7e-08.
