12701217 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 12701217 by 74.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 127 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 74 from 127.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 530 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 530 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 518 away from 530, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
121 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we take 74 away from 121, we end up with 47.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 472 / 74

Step 6:
If we divide 472 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1716.0
If we subtract 444 from 472, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 74

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 can be fit into 281 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17163.0
If we subtract 222 from 281, we get 59.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 597 / 74

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 can be fit into 597 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171638.0
If we take 592 away from 597, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171638.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171638.06
If we subtract 444 from 500, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 171638.067
Subtract 518 from 560 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171638.0675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171638.06756
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 560 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 171638.067567
Deduct 518 from 560 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171638.0675675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 171638.06756756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 171638.06756756 with a remaining 5.6e-08.
