We look at the division of 116720 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 116720 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 74

On to step 2:
11 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 goes into 116 1 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 116 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 427 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 370 away from 427, we end up with 57.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 572 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 572 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtract 518 from 572 to get 54.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 540 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1577.0
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 220 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1577.2
If we subtract 148 from 220, we 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 8:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1577.29
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us 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 9:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1577.297
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us 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 10:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1577.2972
If we take 148 away from 220, we end up 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 11:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1577.29729
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1577.297297
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1577.2972972
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 720 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1577.29729729
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.

The final result is 1577.29729729 with a remainder of 5.4e-08.
