Let's divide 789023 by 74
We want to divide 789023 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 78 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 49 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 490 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 490 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
Subtracting 444 from 490 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 462 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1066.0
If we take 444 away from 462, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 183 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
183 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10662.0
Deduct 148 from 183 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10662.4
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 296 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10662.47
If we take 518 away from 540, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10662.472
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 10:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10662.4729
If we take 666 away from 720, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10662.47297
If we take 518 away from 540, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10662.472972
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 720 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10662.4729729
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
540 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10662.47297297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 10662.47297297 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
