Let's divide 161457 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 161457.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 161 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 134 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 60.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 74 from 134, we get 60.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 605 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 605 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218.0
If we take 592 away from 605, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 137 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2181.0
If we take 74 away from 137, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 630 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2181.8
Subtract 592 from 630 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2181.85
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2181.851
Deduct 74 from 100 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2181.8513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2181.85135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2181.851351
Deduct 74 from 100 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2181.8513513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2181.85135135
Subtract 370 from 380 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2181.85135135 and a remainder of 1e-08.
