We look at the division of 857966 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 857966 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 85, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 117 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 74 from 117 to get 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 439 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Deduct 370 from 439 and we're left with 69.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 696 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 696 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1159.0
If we take 666 away from 696, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 306 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
306 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11594.0
If we subtract 296 from 306, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11594.1
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11594.13
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11594.135
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11594.1351
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11594.13513
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11594.135135
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 13:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11594.1351351
If we subtract 74 from 100, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11594.13513513
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final result is 11594.13513513 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
