We look at the division of 74710978 by 647 
We want to divide 74710978 by 647.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 647 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 647

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 647, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 747 / 647

Going ahead to step 3:
647 can be fit into 747 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 647 away from 747, we end up with 100.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 100 and continue: 1001 / 647

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1001 by 647, we get 1 with a remainder of 354.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 647 from 1001 to get 354.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 354, then repeat: 3540 / 647

Going ahead to step 5:
647 can be fit into 3540 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 305.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we subtract 3235 from 3540, we get 305.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 305, then carry on: 3059 / 647

On to step 6:
647 can be fit into 3059 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 471.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1154.0
Subtracting 2588 from 3059 leaves us with 471.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 471 and repeat the process: 4717 / 647

On to step 7:
4717 divided by 647 is 7 with a remainder of 188.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11547.0
Deduct 4529 from 4717 and we're left with 188.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 188, then carry on: 1888 / 647

Moving on to step 8:
1888 divided by 647 is 2 with a remainder of 594.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115472.0
The remainder is 594 after subtracting 1294 from 1888.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 5940 by 647, we get 9 and a remainder of 117.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 115472.9
If we subtract 5823 from 5940, we get 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
647 can be fit into 1170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 523.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115472.91
Subtracting 647 from 1170 leaves us with 523.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 647 fits into 5230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115472.918
Subtracting 5176 from 5230 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
540 divided by 647 is 0 with a remainder of 540.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 115472.918
If we subtract 0 from 540, we get 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
647 goes into 5400 8 times with a remainder of 224.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115472.91808
Subtract 5176 from 5400 to get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
647 goes into 2240 3 times with a remainder of 299.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115472.918083
If we subtract 1941 from 2240, we get 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
647 can be fit into 2990 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 402.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115472.9180834
Subtracting 2588 from 2990 leaves us with 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
4020 divided by 647 is 6 with a remainder of 138.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115472.91808346
Subtracting 3882 from 4020 leaves us with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 115472.91808346 with a balance of 1.38e-07.
