We're dividing 284150 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 284150 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 goes into 284 3 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 284 to get 62.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 621 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 can be fit into 621 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 592 from 621 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 295 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 295 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 383.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 222 from 295.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 730 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 can be fit into 730 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3839.0
If we subtract 666 from 730, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3839.8
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3839.86
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 444 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3839.864
Subtract 296 from 360 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3839.8648
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3839.86486
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3839.864864
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3839.8648648
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 592 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3839.86486486
If we take 444 away from 480, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3839.86486486 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
