We're dividing 221689 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 221689.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
22 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 221 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 148 from 221.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 736 / 74

On to step 4:
If we divide 736 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 70.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 666 away from 736, we end up with 70.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 708 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 708 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
Deduct 666 from 708 and we're left with 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 goes into 429 5 times with a remainder of 59.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2995.0
If we take 370 away from 429, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 590 7 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2995.7
Subtract 518 from 590 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.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2995.79
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2995.797
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2995.7972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2995.79729
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.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2995.797297
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2995.7972972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2995.79729729
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 666 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2995.79729729 with a balance of 5.4e-08.
