Let's divide 74240300 by 281
We want to divide 74240300 by 281.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 281 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 281

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 281, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 74 leaves us with 74.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 742 / 281

On to step 3:
281 can be fit into 742 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 562 from 742, we get 180.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 180, then repeat: 1804 / 281

On to step 4:
If we divide 1804 by 281, we get 6 and a remainder of 118.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 1686 away from 1804, we end up with 118.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 118, then repeat: 1180 / 281

On to step 5:
1180 divided by 281 is 4 with a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 264.0
Subtract 1124 from 1180 to get 56.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 563 / 281

Step 6:
281 goes into 563 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2642.0
Deduct 562 from 563 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 281

On to step 7:
281 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26420.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 100 / 281

Going ahead to step 8:
281 goes into 100 0 times with a remainder of 100.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 264200.0
The remainder is 100 after subtracting 0 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 1000 by 281, we get 3 and a remainder of 157.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 264200.3
The remainder is 157 after subtracting 843 from 1000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 281 fits into 1570 5 times, leaving a remainder of 165.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 264200.35
If we subtract 1405 from 1570, we get 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
1650 divided by 281 is 5 with a remainder of 245.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 264200.355
Subtracting 1405 from 1650 leaves us with 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 264200.355 with a balance of 0.0245.
