Let's divide 74508383 by 279
We want to figure out the number of times 74508383 can be divided by 279.

Moving on to step 1:
279 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 279

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 279 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 745 / 279

On to step 3:
The number 279 fits into 745 2 times, leaving a remainder of 187.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 558 from 745 and we're left with 187.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 187, then carry on: 1870 / 279

Moving on to step 4:
The number 279 fits into 1870 6 times, leaving a remainder of 196.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 1674 from 1870.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 196, then repeat: 1968 / 279

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1968 by 279, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 267.0
Deduct 1953 from 1968 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 153 / 279

Advancing to step 6:
279 goes into 153 0 times with a remainder of 153.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2670.0
The remainder is 153 after subtracting 0 from 153.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 153, then carry on: 1538 / 279

Going ahead to step 7:
279 can be fit into 1538 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 143.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26705.0
Subtracting 1395 from 1538 leaves us with 143.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 143, then repeat: 1433 / 279

On to step 8:
The number 279 fits into 1433 5 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 267055.0
Subtracting 1395 from 1433 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 380 by 279, we get 1 with a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 267055.1
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 279 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1010 by 279, we get 3 and a remainder of 173.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 267055.13
Deduct 837 from 1010 and we're left with 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1730, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1730 by 279, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 267055.136
Subtract 1674 from 1730 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
560 divided by 279 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267055.1362
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 558 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
20 divided by 279 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267055.1362
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
200 divided by 279 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 267055.1362
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 0 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 267055.1362 with a balance of 2e-05.
