We divide 982731 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 982731.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 74

Step 2:
When dividing 98 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 98 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 goes into 242 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 242, we get 20.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 207 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 132.0
Subtract 148 from 207 to get 59.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 593 / 74

Step 5:
If we divide 593 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1328.0
If we take 592 away from 593, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 74

Step 6:
The number 74 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13280.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13280.1
If we take 74 away from 110, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13280.14
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13280.148
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13280.1486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13280.14864
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13280.148648
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13280.1486486
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13280.14864864
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13280.14864864 with a remaining 6.4e-08.
