Let's divide 978157 by 74
We want to divide 978157 by 74.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 97 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 can be fit into 238 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 222 from 238, we get 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 161 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we take 148 away from 161, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 135 / 74

On to step 5:
74 goes into 135 1 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1321.0
If we subtract 74 from 135, we get 61.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 617 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 617 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13218.0
If we take 592 away from 617, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
250 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13218.3
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 222 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13218.33
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13218.33, and the remainder is 0.058.
