125685 ÷ 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 125685.

Advancing to 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
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 74

On to step 2:
74 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 125 / 74

On to step 3:
If we divide 125 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 125 and we're left with 51.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 516 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 516 6 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 444 from 516.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 728 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 728 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169.0
Subtracting 666 from 728 leaves us with 62.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 625 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 625 8 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1698.0
Subtract 592 from 625 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1698.4
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 296 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1698.44
If we take 296 away from 340, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1698.44 and a remainder of 0.044.
