We're dividing 209689 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 209689 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 74

On to step 2:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
209 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 148 from 209, we get 61.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 616 / 74

On to step 4:
616 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 592 from 616 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 248 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 283.0
Subtracting 222 from 248 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 269 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
269 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2833.0
Subtracting 222 from 269 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2833.6
Subtracting 444 from 470 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2833.63
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2833.635
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2833.6351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2833.63513
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2833.635135
Subtracting 370 from 380 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2833.6351351
If we take 74 away from 100, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2833.63513513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2833.63513513 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
