We divide 85721452 by 974
Let's see how many times 974 fits into 85721452.

On to step 1:
The number 974 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 974

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 974 fits into 85 0 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 85, we end up with 85.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 857 / 974

Advancing to step 3:
974 can be fit into 857 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 857.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 857 and we're left with 857.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 857 and continue with: 8572 / 974

Step 4:
8572 divided by 974 is 8 with a remainder of 780.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 7792 away from 8572, we end up with 780.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 780, then carry on: 7801 / 974

Step 5:
7801 divided by 974 is 8 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 7792 from 7801 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 974

On to step 6:
94 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 94.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 880.0
The remainder is 94 after subtracting 0 from 94.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 94 and continue: 945 / 974

Step 7:
945 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 945.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8800.0
Subtracting 0 from 945 leaves us with 945.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 945 and continue: 9452 / 974

Let's proceed to step 8:
974 goes into 9452 9 times with a remainder of 686.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88009.0
If we subtract 8766 from 9452, we get 686.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
6860 divided by 974 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88009.7
If we subtract 6818 from 6860, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 420.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 88009.7
The remainder is 420 after subtracting 0 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 974 fits into 4200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 304.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 88009.704
Subtract 3896 from 4200 to get 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 3040 by 974, we get 3 with a remainder of 118.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88009.7043
If we take 2922 away from 3040, we end up with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
974 goes into 1180 1 times with a remainder of 206.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88009.70431
If we take 974 away from 1180, we end up with 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 2060 by 974, we get 2 and a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88009.704312
Subtracting 1948 from 2060 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
974 goes into 1120 1 times with a remainder of 146.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88009.7043121
If we take 974 away from 1120, we end up with 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 1460 by 974, we get 1 with a remainder of 486.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88009.70431211
If we subtract 974 from 1460, we get 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 88009.70431211 and a remainder of 4.86e-07.
