We're dividing 249506 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 249506.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 249 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
249 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 222 from 249.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 275 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 275 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 222 from 275, we get 53.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 530 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 530 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 337.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 518 from 530.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 126 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3371.0
Subtracting 74 from 126 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3371.7
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3371.7
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 9:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3371.702
If we take 148 away from 200, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3371.7027
Deduct 518 from 520 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3371.7027
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3371.702702
Subtracting 148 from 200 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3371.7027027
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 518 from 520.
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 14:
74 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3371.7027027
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.

Our division results in 3371.7027027 with a remaining 2e-08.
