Let's divide 979931 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 979931.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 97 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 239 3 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 239, we get 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 goes into 179 2 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 132.0
Subtracting 148 from 179 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 313 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
313 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1324.0
Deduct 296 from 313 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 goes into 171 2 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13242.0
Subtracting 148 from 171 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
230 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13242.3
If we subtract 222 from 230, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13242.31
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13242.31
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13242.3108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13242.31081
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13242.31081
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13242.3108108
Subtract 592 from 600 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13242.31081081
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13242.31081081 with a remaining 6e-09.
