We divide 23731 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 23731.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 237 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 222 from 237 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 153 / 74

On to step 4:
If we divide 153 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 148 away from 153, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 74

On to step 5:
51 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 320.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 510 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320.6
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 444 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320.68
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 592 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 320.689
Subtracting 666 from 680 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 320.6891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 660 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 320.68918
If we take 592 away from 660, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 320.689189
Deduct 666 from 680 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 320.6891891
If we take 74 away from 140, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 320.68918918
Subtract 592 from 660 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 320.68918918 and a remainder of 6.8e-08.
