Let's divide 871078 by 74
We want to divide 871078 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 74 from 87 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 131 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 131 1 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 74 from 131.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 570 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 518 from 570, we get 52.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 527 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 527 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1177.0
Subtract 518 from 527 to get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11771.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 74 from 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11771.3
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11771.32
If we subtract 148 from 180, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11771.324
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11771.3243
Subtracting 222 from 240 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11771.32432
Subtract 148 from 180 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 74 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11771.324324
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
240 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11771.3243243
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11771.32432432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11771.32432432 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
